Has ActiveState produced a 64 bit package yet?
Yes, x64 packages have been available for a couple of years (give or take).
That is, ActiveState currently provide an msi package for both x86 (32-bit
build of perl) and x64 (64-bit build of perl) ... and they also provide zip
packages for both, as well.
All four of those packages should install and run fine on 64-bit windows. I
can vouch for that re the x86 and x64 zip packages on Vista 64, but I've not
personally tried the msi packages (as I'm always worried they'll do
something I don't want them to do ... possibly that's just silliness on my
part).
I would think that if there was a problem with the msi installer being used
by the OP's friend, then the installation would bail out with more
meaningful error messages (ie probably a pop up outlining what needed to be
done). But, as you've probably already gathered, I'm no expert when it comes
to the installation of msi packages :-)
Cheers,
Rob
