Sorry this is embarrassingly basic, but I have been having problems install Win32-AdminMisc. I have just trashed Perl 5.6 in favour of 5.8 and began to install the modules again. I had no problems with any modules, well apart form Win32-adminmisc. I have spent most this weekend installing and uninstalling this module. And when I try to run a test (the use win32::adminmisc line is the only thing in the script) I get windows error "perl.exe - unable to locate component; this application has failed to start because MSVCR70.DLL Was not found. Re-installing the application may fix this problem,". I searched for MSVCR70.DLL couldn’t find any! And I don’t know if the error message is a red herring.
