no help there all dependent files are loaded onto the machine, I install the same way on a windows 2003 box with sp2 and I don't have this problem. My new destination is a virtual server running VMWARE and 2003 SP1, I do the exact same steps on my box and they work. I can get the version of arsapi from my test version.pl file and it returns version number. 9 just like it does on my test box. I thought I had this beat but apparently on my vmware server its still the same problem. here is the error.. Can't load 'C:/Perl/site/lib/auto/ARS/ARS.dll' for module ARS: load_file:The specified module could not be found at C:/Perl/lib/DynaLoader.pm line 206. Compilation failed in require at (eval 2) line 1613.

    # Often these errors are actually occurring in the initialisation
    # C code of the extension XS file. Perl reports the error as being
    # in this perl code simply because this was the last perl code
    # it executed.
