I am using ActiveState's PerlApp program to compile a simple script which coincidentally installs ActiveState's perl msi and some modules in various ways.

The perl install gets cut off on systems where perl already exists, because my PerlApp generated executable is loading perl58.dll, which the install wants to overwrite.

The 'exclude perl58.dll from executable' was not checked in the build, and obviously for systems where perl does not exist the PerlApp executable I've compiled still runs, so it is clear that it does not need to load the perl58.dll.

However when it exists, it finds it, and loads it instead of using whatever is built into the exe.
Does anyone know if there is some way to STOP it from doing this?? (aside from deleting the dll or including another one somewhere else for it to use.)

Thanks!

Matt
