    What thread did you already ask this in? What advice was given there, and why didn't it work?
    For this question, the critical piece of information is the "fatal error" -- what exactly was the error? And exactly (what version of DBI, what version of windows) how did you get it?

    Hi davidrw

    I can't find the thread. but in the same question name i asked the day before. i try yesterday based on steps.

    They answer the steps first. perl Makefile.PL second. nmake third. nmake test fourth nmake install.

    fatal error 077 like the error comes and stop like error prints. and nmake.err is prepared there having more than 500 errors.

    DBI VERSION: DBI-1.48.tar.gz

    platform : windowsxp I get through www.cpan.org. if possible give me nmake.exe correct path based on that i download and try.

      Can you copy and paste the exact error message? 500 is too many, but if you could provide the first few and the last few, it will probably indicate what the problem was.

      What about installing via ppm? Be sure you look at the list of tutorials mentioned above. All of that was also suggested in your previous-day thread, which is here: How to install DBI module?
