Hello monks...

I used PAR's "pp" function to make a Windows .exe file from a Perl script. I've run this script on a number of machines successfully, but I recently shipped it to a machine on which it will not run. When I attempt to run it, I get a Windows pop-up box that says 

par.exe- No Disk #(this is the window title)

There is no disk in the drive.  Please insert a disk into drive \Devic
+e\Harddisk\DR1 

Cancel/Try Again/Continue #(these are buttons)

[download]

The problem box is running Win2KPro. PAR is version 0.06 on ActiveState Perl 5.8.3

Any suggestions about what's going on with PAR would be welcome. I'm stumped.
