I first replaced the Registry.pm (./perl/site/lib/Win32/ on my installation) from the installed module Win32::Registry by the one found here: http://jenda.krynicky.cz/#Win32::Registry2. This Registry.pm package contains the HKLM definition (amongst with other changes). I had also to change the version as it was expecting the one from the original Win32::Registry (you'll see that error and the expected version if you do not change anything). There should be a more "clean" way to replace this package, but at least what I did is working. This should solve your issue.

Then I'm using an older version of pp (1.014). This is because I wanted to change the exe icon, and with newer versions you can't.

Maybe not important for you, but with the installation of libraries I also have an issue with the "ar" command, which generates issues at compilation time (g++ issue message about ".a" files that are not recognized). I compiled the ".a" files with "ar" on another platform (Cygwin).

I'm using Strawberry Portable (v5.14.4) on Win10.

I hope that this will help you running your program. If not, just ask ;)
