Hey John!

In fact, that was a minor typo. The nmake output is just like yours, only that it freezes before returning to the prompt. If I Ctrl+break and recover the prompt by force, the nmake test and nmake installcommands generate this same output. And nothing is installed there on \perl\site\lib\Spreadsheet.

Iīve checked the link you gave me, but itīs been riped. I reinstalled the ExtUtils::Makemaker module (donīt know if this is the point you referred) but the freezing goes on.

You think I should step down to a more reliable build of Activestate? Wich one? Where to find it?

Or maybe the solution can be installing through PPM(X), but the problem is that I canīt find any repository that has "suitable installation target" for your package. 

ppm> install Spreadsheet::WriteExcel
Error: no suitable installation target found for package Spreadsheet::
+WriteExcel
>ppm

[download]

Thanks for the help

André
