Hi all,
I just tried installing ActivePerl-5.8.8.817-MSWin32-x86-257965.msi on a Windows XP Professional machine.
I more or less accepted the default options, except I only checked the upper two checkboxes in the optional setup actions window. ("Add Perl to the PATH environment variable" and "Create Perl file extension association"), the others I unchecked. Also, I changed the default installation folder to: "C:\Server\Perl\"
After pressing "Install" I get an error message:
"An error occurred while attempting to create the directory: C:\Server\Perl\lib\auto\Sys"
After this happened I also tried the install with all options set to default, with the exact same result.
What's going on? Anyone have a clue? Thanks a lot in advance for any help.
Best regards,
Martijn Senden.
