Hi All

I am trying to install modules from my local repository.

I downloaded AdminMisc_5005_AS.tar.gz, AdminMisc_5005.tar.gz and AdminMisc_5006.tar.gz. I extracted them into 3 seperate seperate folders, then I got one of the ppd files and edited the lines; 
 
<SOFTPKG NAME="Win32-AdminMisc" VERSION="0,2000,07,08">
    <TITLE>Win32::AdminMisc</TITLE>
    <ABSTRACT>The Win32::AdminMisc extension for Win32 X86</ABSTRACT>
    <AUTHOR>Roth Consulting (http://www.roth.net/)</AUTHOR>
    <IMPLEMENTATION>
        <OS NAME="MSWin32" />
        <ARCHITECTURE NAME="MSWin32-x86-object" />
        <CODEBASE HREF="c:/unzipped/AdminMisc_5005_AS/AdminMisc_5005_A
+S.tar.gz" />
    </IMPLEMENTATION>
    <IMPLEMENTATION>
        <OS NAME="MSWin32" />
        <ARCHITECTURE NAME="MSWin32-x86" />
        <CODEBASE HREF="c:/unzipped/AdminMisc_5005/AdminMisc_5005.tar.
+gz" />
    </IMPLEMENTATION>

        <ARCHITECTURE NAME="MSWin32-x86-multi-thread" />
        <CODEBASE HREF="c:/unzipped/AdminMisc_5006/AdminMisc_5006.tar.
+gz" />
    </IMPLEMENTATION>
</SOFTPKG>

Then I copies the ppd file (in read-only) into each folder created for each zipped file. However when I tried to install the package I got the following. 
C:\Perl>ppm
PPM interactive shell (2.1.6) - type 'help' for available commands.
PPM> set repository LOCAL c:/unzipped
PPM> search
Packages available from c:/unzipped:

Error installing package 'Win32-AdminMisc': Error reading c:/unzipped/
+c:/unzipped/AdminMisc_500

Can someone please point me to what am I doing wrong?

Thanks very much in advance.
