in thread ActiveState Perl 10.x and Crypt::SSLeay not installed errors on Windows 2003

The problem seems to come from as BrowserUk suspected from running more than one version

i.e. 5.8 and 5.10 on the same system there must be a conflict in the registry that stops the install

Removing both 5.8 and 5.10 from my system then deleting all the following files and folders in the registry.

Reinstalling 5.10 and then Crypt-SSLeay installs correctly, this may not be what you wanted to hear. It may be possible to make the necessary changes in the registry to allow the install but as always it comes with risks!
