I don't know if this is it, but I had a friend have something similar happen with another program because the installer couldn't handle being on the Spanish version of windows. I looked at Activestate's website (if you're not using Activestate's perl, you might want to try it), but they say nothing regarding language version. He later worked out that the program he was installing was fine with the non-english windows, but the installer was not. I hope it's as simple as that. Sorry not to be more informative, but I don't have a box to try it out with =) Viel Gluck.
