in reply to Re^3: Win32::Exe - Resource section creation fails
in thread Win32::Exe - Resource section creation fails

But the problem seems to be in Win32::Exe and NOT in Par::Packer

What version of Win32::Exe ? (I'm using 0.14, which seems to be fine.)

Btw, that's the same test failure as was reported on the PAR mailing list ... dunno what's going on ...

Cheers,
Rob

    I'm also using Win32::Exe Version 0.14. But I installed it via ppm and NOT from cpan. But I think that this shouldn't make a difference.

      If you have the capacity (ie a auitable compiler) to build Win32::Exe from source, maybe do that and see if it makes a difference. (You're right, it shouldn't make a difference.)

      Also check to see how Win32::Exe goes at creating the icon for an exe file that has *not* been created by 'pp'.

        I tried it with notepad.exe. And now it was working.

        So I was wrong with my assumption that the problem is Win32::Exe. The generated exe of Par::Packer seems to be incompatible to the the resource section generation of Win32::Exe.
