Hi Stephen, this proves that the MSYS DTK is not installed correctly. Install.sh seems to find a perl in one of the new directories, maybe in c:\soft\tools. Please insert which perl echo $PATH into install.sh, within the function inst_dtk(), after the setup line. You could also try a simple windows find for perl :-)
