in reply to HTML::Parser upgrade trouble

Hi

There might be some process using this DLL. Try to unregister it first and then continue with ur make install. Try forcing the installation too.
To unregister the DLL regsvr32 /u C:\Perl\site\lib\auto\HTML\Parser\Parser.dll
I hope this will solve the problem.

Thanks

    Thank you for the reply.
    I tried what you said and got the following message box:

    "C:\Perl\site\lib\auto\HTML\Parser\Parser.dll was loaded, but the DllUnregisterServer entry point was not found.

    DllUnregisterServer may not be exported, or a corrupt version of the C:\Perl\site\lib\auto\HTML\Parser\Parser.dll may be in memory. Consider using PView to detect and remove it."

    I did not use Pview per say, but another process viewer to remove any instance of the .dll in memory. This did not resolve the original message above, as I got the same message the next time I ran your suggested regsvr32 command.

      I wouldn't worry about it, I just think this kind of DLLs simply doesn't require registering or unregistering. After all, they're just oldfashioned plain DLLs, nothing of OLE in sight. And (please correct me if I'm wrong) I think only OLE (AKA Active-X) DLLs need (un)registering.

      Just go ahead.
