in reply to Running Tk::Zinc on Windows

theese MSI and CAB (inside MSI) could be unpacked.

I succeeded unpacking but now archive does not contains subdirectories.

However copying to proper places should work... e.g. Zinc.dll should go to ...../site/lib/auto/Tk/Zinc/

Get it from http://www.vkonovalov.ru/unicode/ file http://www.vkonovalov.ru/unicode/tkzinc-perl.zip

I removed *.pdb file from archive, as it is not needed and just wastes space. Let me know if you still need it.

BTW Windows-ME now has no support (MS officially refused it)
Perl developers now do not support it, as README's now say.
It is easier to switch to Windows 2000

update s/pdf/pdb/ as it was some debug file not PDF file

    Thanks! Now that I know that MSI files can be extracted with "cabextract" I can play with it.

      In this case I beleive you need to install installer (instmsi.exe) so your system will be able to deal with MSI files from now on....

        I have the instmsi.exe installed, and the msi for ActivePerl went in fine. The installer program just would say "can't install" when trying to install the Zinc.msi. It just confirms my belief that msi and rpm's cause more problems than they are worth. I prefer tgz and zip files. :-)
