in reply to problems installing win32-adminmisc

Micro Soft Visual C Runtime v7.0. dll.

Wherever you obtained your binary copy of Win32::AdminMisc, they built it using MSVC++ v7.0. The runtime dll's are freely available on the net, which would fix that problem. Just stick it in \winnt\system32 and the error will go away.

However, the fact that you don't already have this on your system means that your copy of perl was built with a different (version of the) compiler. That could cause problems. There is a fairly good chance it won't-- Win32 DLLs are fairly independant--but it would be worth keeping an eye open for 'funny' errors when using the module.
