Hi,

I am using Win32::TieRegistry to pull some information from the registry.

When I use the Connect method on the local machine, all is well.

When I try to use the Connect Method on a remote machine, I get the following error:

Overlapped I/O operation is in progress

Here's the code I'm using for the connect: 

# Connect to a remote Registry key:
$regKey= $Registry->Connect( $Machine, $target,
      { Access=>KEY_READ } )
      or  die "Can't connect to machine: $Machine : $^E\n";

The Connect method apparently works fine connecting to Windows NT Machines but fails consistently for Windows 2000 (Server and Professional) The target is defined as: 

$target = "LMachine\\Software\\Microsoft\\Windows\\CurrentVersion\\Uni
+nstall\\";

I am running ActivePerl build 5.8.0

The reason I am using this method of finding out what software is installed on a Windows machine is that WMI only returns software installed from an MSI file.

All help would be appreciated,

Kakaze

<update> I should have noted that I am running the script on a Win2K platform. </update>
