--howdy: --i did download and install the, er, installer 2.0 for windows '98 (it's called InstMsiA).
--it installs and reboots the system, but when i try to install ActivePerl 5.6.1 behind that, i get a messages that says something like, 'Can't install'. --i'm sorry i don't have the exact error message to post ... but that's why i'm looking for another version of Perl to install without the pre-installer package. -X -----Original Message----- From: yahoo [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]] hi, I think its trying to use the microsoft installer which will need installing on win98 look at the Windows 98 bit and you see what you need to install first http://www.activestate.com/Products/Download/Get.plex?id=ASPNPerl joel -----Original Message----- From: Johnson, Shaunn [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]] Sent: 18 March 2002 14:53 To: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Subject: Perl for Windows 98 Howdy: Where can I get Perl 5.6.x for Windows '98? I did try ActivePerl, but am still having problems with the installs (there is a package to install called 'InstMsia.exe' that is supposed to help, but doesn't). However, the ActivePerl 5.6.1 DOES work for my NT servers. TIA! -X _________________________________________________________ Do You Yahoo!? Get your free @yahoo.com address at http://mail.yahoo.com
