in reply to Win32-PowerPoint-0.09 does not install under Strawberry 5.12.3

Installs fine on ActiveState 5.14.1, apart from a warning from Makefile.PL (using the wrong comparison operator for a version number).

OLE programs can sometime fail if the product is already running, so I ran the tests with PowerPoint already opened. Worked OK for me.

    thanks, everybody. I did have powerpoint installed, but it was running in the background. apparently, this does screw up the installation.

    and the moral of the story is, close Powerpoint before you install this program. (it would make a nice error message). /iaw
