in reply to Installing Modules from local repository

I do the same thing.

Try changing this line

<CODEBASE HREF="c:/unzipped/AdminMisc_5005_AS/AdminMisc_5005_AS.tar.gz" />

to

<CODEBASE HREF="AdminMisc_5005_AS/AdminMisc_5005_AS.tar.gz" />

You are already telling ppm where to load the package from when you say set repository LOCAL c:/unzipped

    No Joy,...I have tried this as!!!!!

      You may have to do it manually then.

      I got the 5.006 zip file. You can extract it to your c:/unzipped/AdminMisc_5006 dir...then

      copy from the bin dir the AdminMisc.dll to the <perldir>\site\lib\auto\Win32\AdminMisc\AdminMisc.DLL
      copy the ADMINMSC.PM file to <perldir>\site\lib\Win32\AdminMisc.PM
      copy for the test dir all the .pl files to <perldir>\site\lib\auto\Win32\AdminMisc\
      copy the readme, Readme.pod, Win32-AdminMisc.ppd all to <perldir>\site\lib\auto\Win32\AdminMisc\
      my ppm install then writes a .packlist in the <perldir>\site\lib\auto\Win32\AdminMisc\ dir which looks as follows

      C:\Perl\site\lib\Win32\AdminMisc.PM C:\Perl\site\lib\Win32\AdminMisc\DESKTOP.PL C:\Perl\site\lib\Win32\AdminMisc\MEMGROUP.PL C:\Perl\site\lib\Win32\AdminMisc\NewDesktop.pl C:\Perl\site\lib\Win32\AdminMisc\README C:\Perl\site\lib\Win32\AdminMisc\RUNAS.PL C:\Perl\site\lib\Win32\AdminMisc\Readme.pod C:\Perl\site\lib\Win32\AdminMisc\RenameUser.pl C:\Perl\site\lib\Win32\AdminMisc\SCHED.PL C:\Perl\site\lib\Win32\AdminMisc\SCHED2.PL C:\Perl\site\lib\Win32\AdminMisc\SWITCH.PL C:\Perl\site\lib\Win32\AdminMisc\Test.pl C:\Perl\site\lib\Win32\AdminMisc\VALIDATE.PL C:\Perl\site\lib\Win32\AdminMisc\Win32-AdminMisc.ppd C:\Perl\site\lib\Win32\AdminMisc\listdesktop.pl C:\Perl\site\lib\auto\Win32\AdminMisc\AdminMisc.DLL

      I don't think this updates the ppm database of installed modules but maybe some-one more experienced can finish this off for me... or it may just work.

      Hope this helps...
