I was too afraid to break things up, so I made the modifications internally. Here is my copy. If everyone is ok, I can update the repository with this copy Yeah, I can understand that! I was also worried about making changes to perl.bat, so in the end I made another script strawberryperl.bat and used that instead. Thanks for your copy of the script, I will compare it to mine to see if there's anything I forgot. (It seems like the mailing list strips attachments, I guess anyone else following this mailing list will not get the file.) In any case, since I have a working setup for Strawberry Perl now, I am not that dependent on whether the unattended repository is up to date. But I guess the copy of perl.bat in the repository would not work for anyone who might download unattended for the first time. So it might be good to get it updated at some point. You could see if anyone else on this mailing list has any comments first, yup.

Re: [Unattended-Dev] Experiences with Strawberry Perl instead of ActivePerl?
Hello Juanjo, I completely forgot about this for a while, what is the status of switching to Strawberry Perl? I see that the perl.bat script in the repository still points to an old ActivePerl package that is no longer available for download. I tested now using Strawberry Perl in our own unattended installation, using code from this e-mail thread. It seems like everything works fine as long as I add the "ApplicationAssociationToasts" registry fixes that I mentioned. I tested both the cpan version and the "offline" version of the code (with the tar package of NetResource), both seemed to work fine. (I will probably just stick to using CPAN myself, since the rest of our unattended install requires network connection anyways.) I have only tested in Windows 10 though, I have not tested any other Windows versions.

Is this about the "Open with..." dialogue window that tends to pop up? (I can't see the PNG since I guess it wasn't sent to the mailing list.) I think I solved this in my Windows 10 unattended script by setting the "ApplicationAssociationToasts" entries for .pl files to 0 in the registry: HKEY_CURRENT_USER\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\ApplicationAssociationToasts] "Applications\\Notepad.exe_.pl"=dword: "Applications\\WordPad.exe_.pl"=dword: "Applications\\perl.exe_.pl"=dword: Or if you do it directly from a script/command line: reg add HKCU\Software\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\ApplicationAssociationToasts /v "Applications\Notepad.exe_.pl" /t REG_DWORD /d 0 /f reg add HKCU\Software\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\ApplicationAssociationToasts /v "Applications\WordPad.exe_.pl" /t REG_DWORD /d 0 /f reg add HKCU\Software\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\ApplicationAssociationToasts /v "Applications\perl.exe_.pl" /t REG_DWORD /d 0 /f There might be some changes needed to make this work with Strawberry Perl. Hopefully this helps. Johan Ho ___ unattended-devel mailing list unattended-devel@lists.sourceforge.net https://lists.sourceforge.net/lists/listinfo/unattended-devel
