Re: Active State Perl Installation Issue on Windows 7 64bit

You seem to have installed ActivePerl for 32 Bit by accident. At least, it tries to load dll's from the 32 Bit subsystem (ole32.dll).

Also, did you run any AntiVirus? Run the ActivePerl installer with or without "Run as Administrator..."?

Don't use '#ff0000':
use Acme::AutoColor; my $redcolor = RED();
All colors subject to change without notice.

I'm pretty sure it's the 64 bit version, all of the .msi files have x64 in the name: `ActivePerl-5.14.2.1402-MSWin32-x64-295342.msi` Laptop is running Trend Micro Anti Virus, desktop runs Norton. For grins and giggles let me disable the anti-virus and retry the install. I've never had a problem with anti-virus programs causing issues, but it's worth a shot. All installs were run under an account with full administrative rights. Update: Shutting down the AV tool made no difference. Nothing reported in the install log.	[reply] [d/l]
