Hi Rob

Thanks for those suggestions

I started on the automated test changes first, becuase once I saw a way of making things better, I couldn't resist! I tried a few varients of the hi.ico path as follows:

Opened up PERL script C:\mybuild\PAR-Packer-1.002\contrib\automated_pp_test\automated_pp_test.pl

Changed:

my $cmd = 'pp --gui --icon hi.ico -o ' . "$hello_executable $hello_pl_
+file";

To (attempt 1):

my $cmd = 'pp --gui --icon C:/mybuild/PAR-Packer-1.002/contrib/hi.ico 
+-o ' . "$hello_executable $hello_pl_file";
[download]

Result:

So I pressed on anyway and did a 'make install' and that did not generate any errors :)

I had a look around and saw pp, pp.bat and pp.pm files still had date/timestamps in the past.

So I un-installed PERL and deleted the c:\perl folder and re-did all the dmakes (still needed to manually make par.exe and static.exe

What happened on the 3rd dmake is the following:

C:\mybuild\PAR-Packer-1.002>dmake test
dmake.exe:  Warning: -- Found file corresponding to virtual target [mk
+tmpdir.h].

It just hangs at the above. Do you have any suggestions on these new errors?

Thanks
