Hello,

I've been trying to install the Win32::GUI module by Robert May (http://search.cpan.org/~robertmay/Win32-GUI-1.06/)
I downloaded the tar.gz file, extracted it to a directory and then tried to install it using the following commands as instructed on the Cpan website:

1) Perl Makefile.PL - This works fine at the moment

2) dmake - This returns the following errors at the end:
dmake: Error code 129, while making '..\blib\arch\auto\Win32\GUI\Constants\Constants.dll'
dmake: Error code 255, while making 'subdirs'

3) I tried going on to "dmake install," but that just returns the abovementioned errors again...

I'm running Windows 7 with Strawberry Perl and this is the first module I'm installing since my HD went nuts. (Don't worry, that's not the problem ;) )
If any of you know what is going on, I'd appreciate it if you'd tell me :P

Thanks in advance.

- Cbeppe
