Did you check for error messages in Application Log in Event Viewer? Did you check ARS.dll with dependencywalker?

    no help there all dependent files are loaded onto the machine, I install the same way on a windows 2003 box with sp2 and I don't have this problem. My new destination is a virtual server running VMWARE and 2003 SP1, I do the exact same steps on my box and they work. I can get the version of arsapi from my test version.pl file and it returns version number. 9 just like it does on my test box. I thought I had this beat but apparently on my vmware server its still the same problem. here is the error.. Can't load 'C:/Perl/site/lib/auto/ARS/ARS.dll' for module ARS: load_file:The specified module could not be found at C:/Perl/lib/DynaLoader.pm line 206.

      No, the error message is telling you that they are not all loaded. If you use EventViewer or DependencyWalker you can see exactly which file is missing. You might want to do this from VMWARE session.

        How do I "see" which file is missing? can you provide some guidance? I try running perl -e "use ars;" and I don't get anything as output on guest system would this indicate it is some type of permissions issue?
