Mmmmm... Win32:FileOp was installed OK in a 32 bit WinXP virtual machine, and then the full example worked as expected.

Then I packed it into an EXE using PAR, and try this in the same WinXP VM successfully.

Finally, I copied the EXE to my (other) Win10 x64 machine and run it there... Successfully!!! I was dissapointed. I was sure it would fail.

I said "other" because this is the Win10 machine at my office that also has x64 Strawberry perl, but no GUI modules. I'll not try to install any of them here anyway. The original machine where I tried all the GUIs is at home ;-) I can't recall if both of them are the same or different editions of Win10, and I don't know if this matters!

It seems that if I take the Win32::GUI way, I'll have to coninue the development on a 32 bit WinXP VM to get a running app in EXE format.
