in thread install cpan Win32::OLE on cygwin - t/3_ole.t ....... 1/58 OLE exception from "Microsoft Excel":

Cleaned the TEMP directory (78Mbyte)

Path is set correctly

The Unblock suggestion is premature becuase the script tries to create a workbook. I don't understand enough to decide whether the script is still getting to set up the create call or is actually doing the call to create the file and cannot. I suspect the latter.

The Unblock suggestion made me think that maybe some security setting prohibits the creation of a file on the file system from a script? What could that be?

Thanks for the thought.

    What could that be?

    Don't know, there are other threads linked about this not uncommon error -- even some kb articles -- check the eventviewer maybe?
