Hi vcTheGuru,

Download AdminMisc_5008.Zip from that page you provided a link to. (I would think that's what you've already done.) When you unzip, look for the file named Win32-AdminMisc.ppd - which will be in the top level directory to which you unzipped the archive. Then 'cd' to that directory and run ppm install Win32-AdminMisc.ppd. That should install a working version of Win32::AdminMisc into your perl 5.8.8. (It did for me.) You will need msvcr70.dll somewhere in your path to succesfully use this build of Win32::AdminMisc. You should be able to find msvcr70.dll by googling - if you don't already have it.

I wonder whether it's the absence of msvcr70.dll that has prevented AdminMisc.dll from loading and led to the error message you've reported ? Normally, when a dll can't be found you'll also get a pop-up specifying exactly which dll it was that could not be found

Cheers,
Rob
