in thread Can't run nmake

Thanks for the help...and the phone was a nice touch! LOL. Forgive my ignorance, but where do I find this and how would I use it? Is it a nmake.exe that I need to move to the perl module directory? I am having trouble locating it. Thanks.

    nmake.exe is being found. It is nmake.exe that is printing: 

    Microsoft (R) Program Maintenance Utility   Version 1.50

    [download]

    The problem is that it doesn't understand the contents of the makefile. Probably because it uses syntax that hadn't beem invented when the v1.50 was released.

    To get a later version of nmake.exe, you will have to install one of MS C++ compilers. These can be downloaded for free from the MS website. Try googling for visual C++ express download
