Re: nmake install problem for tieExcel

Thanks corion. Fixed that. Now I've got

Microsoft (R) Program Maintenance Utility   Version 1.50
Copyright (c) Microsoft Corp 1988-94. All rights reserved.
<p>
Makefile.pl(4) : fatal error U1035: syntax error : expected ':' or '='
+ separator
Stop.
[download]
