Can't install them

Post #56,968 by drewk 10/15/02 12:01:07 PM Reply	Can't install them "Read a PPD for 'Win32-AdminMisc.ppd', but it is not intended for this build of Perl (MSWin32-x86-multi-thread)" Trying to update my Perl install now, will see what happens. === Microsoft offers them the one thing most business people will pay any price for - the ability to say "we had no choice - everyone's doing it that way." -- [link\|http://z.iwethey.org/forums/render/content/show?contentid=38978\|Andrew Grygus]

You can always do a fresh install of Perl within an arbitrary directory and choose not to put it in the path etc. No update risk there. (In fact if you find something with a name like PerlCTL.dll in your system32 directory and stick it in Perl's bin, then you can have a network install done on any machine afterwards by just adding Perl's bin in the PATH. This will only work if every machine - including the one that did the install - see that directory as having the same name. The installation etches that name inside the executable.) If you get into trouble, I am sorry but I won't be able to answer questions. However the kind folks at [link\|http://www.perlmonks.org\|Perlmonks] include several people who are most certainly qualified to offer assistance, and they are very responsive.

Tried to figure out what to change in the PPD and it claimed to install but I got different errors. (No, this isn't a complete bug report.) Done trying for the night. Thanks for the pointer. (Adding repository got AdminMisc installed.) === Microsoft offers them the one thing most business people will pay any price for - the ability to say "we had no choice - everyone's doing it that way." -- [link\|http://z.iwethey.org/forums/render/content/show?contentid=38978\|Andrew Grygus]
