Is libtiff-5.dll not installed in the msvc installers?

[Ben Rush]

Hi.

First off, thanks for taking the time to help me out. My company is going
to be using gstreamer pretty extensively soon, and we deploy on Windows, so
I imagine there's going to be a few Windows-related questions coming from
me over the next few months (and maybe even contributions if we encounter
issues).

To jump to your question, no, it was specifically the spandsp plugin
(E:\gstreamer\1.0\x86_64\lib\gstreamer-1.0\gstspandsp.dll) that was the
problem. It was a red herring in that it wasn't what was preventing the
tutorial from working. Upon bringing up the debug log to level 4, I noticed
the following error: "TLS/SSL support not available; install
glib-networking.

I dug using various tracing tools to discover what was trying to be loaded,
and found that if I put the folder "gio" with the following files:

modules/giognutls.dll
modules/giognutls.pdb
modules/giognutls.a

Under E:\gstreamer\1.0\x86_64\bin, I could then get the player to work. Is
this an installer-related issue, or is this something I missed in the
documentation?

I'm trying to "off-road" a bit and write the tutorials from the ground up,
again, since we plan on writing our own software that uses gstreamer and I
want to figure these things out now.

Thanks.
