    with best regards, Mishin Nikolay, web-programmer
      Kindly I've installed & uninstalled it three times from the same link but the same Error is fired at the Launching of the IDE! Does it require special prerequisites? my machine OS is Windows 7 Home premiere! Thanks!

    Based on what you posted, it looks like you're using DWIM Perl. DWIM Perl already includes Padre -- i.e. if you install DWIM Perl, you have Padre "installed". After installing DWIM Perl, you can find the padre executable at C:\Dwimperl\perl\site\bin\padre.exe -- assuming that you installed to C:\Dwimperl.

    I've had DWIM Perl installed on Windows 7 Home Pro 64-bit for over a year, so it definitely can be installed on Windows 7.

      DWIM Perl already includes Pade

      And the OP appears to be trying to run it, and its not working

        I have this problem too, but a little bit different:can't call method "selectrow_arrayref" on a undefined value at C:/Dwimperl/perl/site/lit/ORLite/Migrate.pm line 96. aborted at DB.pm line 36;Padre.pm line 33. I don't know why. I cannot start it...
