    What is your path set to?

    Why did you switch from d:\tmp\scripts to c:\windows\system32 to run those commands?

      "Why did you switch...?"

      I don't know :-(

      But this fixed it: HKEY_CLASSES_ROOT\Applications\perl.exe\shell\open\command was "C:\Perl64\bin\perl.exe" "%1". It should be "C:\Perl64\bin\perl.exe" "%1" %*

      One-hit wonder ;-)

        Weird!

        I currently have 5 versions of AS perl installed on this machine -- and I've had many others installed previously -- and that key doesn't exist in my registry.

        What creates it and what uses it?
