I'm pretty sure he didn't use ActivePerl x64: He mentioned the x86 path (assuming defaults). weirdbeardmt wrote: > >> So I'm at a loss!

If adding the right repositories there is no need for that. 3.3.1 has just been released, so first download this from the official site. Then try the following: 1. Stop the "Windows Installer" service. This can be accomplished from the command prompt using the following command: c:\> net stop "Windows Installer" 2.Temporarily remove or rename PERLLIB and PERL5LIB environment variables in the system environment. 3. Temporarily remove or rename the following registry values: [\\HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\Software\Perl] lib = <directory> (REG_SV) [\\HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\Software\Perl] sitelib = <directory> (REG_SV) [\\HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\Software\Perl] lib-<PerlVersion> = <directory> (REG_SV) [\\HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\Software\Perl] sitelib-<PerlVersion> = <directory>(REG_SV) 4. Install ActivePerl 5.10 (x86) 5. Open Dos Box, type the following ppm remove --area perl DB_File ppm repo add bribes ppm repo add trouchelle ppm install Prompt-Timeout ppm install Net-DNS ppm install NetAddr-IP ppm install DB_File ppm install Mail-SPF ppm install IP-Country ppm install IO-Socket-INET6 ppm install Mail-DKIM 6. go to SA Source and type perl makefile.pl nmake nmake install If this fails again, it has definitely nothing to do with your perl installation or some modules. -- View this message in context: http://old.nabble.com/Installation-error-on-Windows-Server-2008---64-bit-tp27950951p27984259.html Sent from the SpamAssassin - Users mailing list archive at Nabble.com.
