Thank you for your answer. If this could help someone: I uninstalled everything and reinstalled, without virtual machine: - ActivePerl 5.12.2 - All modules needed for PAR-Packer, asking my windowsSDK to work on x86 XP mode (Setenv /x86 /xp) and PAR-Packer itself. Everything passed well, excepted PAR-Packer: nmake said that the Manifest was missing. Found a solution copying twice the MANIFEST file and renaming the two obtained files into par.exe.manifest and static.exe.manifest : it worked.
So it became possible for me to use pp to generate 32bits .exe working as well on windowsXP as Windows7. Cheers! Martha
