Why do you need to install it from the command prompt?  It's an MSI file.  Go to http://www.activestate.com/Products/Download/Get.plex?id=ActivePerl
and download it again and then see what happens.

Subject: Perl + win2k install problems

Hello,
 
Our server that was running on NT, had O'reilly's website pro version 1.0 and extensions for Frontpage98 on it has crashed.
 
Our I.S. Dept. put in new hard drive, installed win2k, IIS and now I need to install a version of PERL so my scripts will work (again).
 
When I downloaded PERL before, I got it to install without a problem on this older machine and also on another one running win2k with Lotus Notes' Domino's web server.
 
However - I am having problems getting PERL to install now on this rebuilt harddrive. I downloaded PERL 5.6.1 and tried installing it through the command window like it said below to do:
 
  •  The installation wizard can also be accessed by opening the command window and entering:

        c:\<directory where the install file is located> msiexec.exe/i <install file>
    But I'm having problems getting it to work.  There was an error with the MSIEXEC file?
    Any help would be appreciated.
    Thanks,
    Susan Wolak
