Re: Win32::AdminMisc Problems

Now unless windows is case sensitive the AdminMisc.DLL is exactly where it says it can't find it

Aaaah ... but it didn't say it couldn't find it. It said it couldn't load it - and that happened because of the missing msvcr70.dll.

The advice of doowah2004 should fix the problem - though the dll can be installed anywhere in your path (doesn't have to be the perl/bin).

Cheers,
Rob

Agreed, but just downloading a DLL to overcome an error is a bad idea, it's better to let some supported package install it. The better way to resolve this one is to read: http://support.microsoft.com/kb/326922/en-us The proposed download the DLL and put it somewhere might actually help in that it may minimize the risk of bit-rot, but it does so at the price of missing security updates. My advice is to deal with the bit-rot and not compromise security in something that's used to administer 900 machines.	[reply]
