Subject: Module does not build
Installation of this module outright does not work. For me, the first thing I encountered was that build_tools\updateRC.pl doesn't work because GUI.rc is set to read-only. I'm not sure how this wasn't caught before release, but with Win32::GUI not effectively dead, it needs to be fixed and re-uploaded. If you want, I would be happy to fix this and upload a replacement myself.

What OS, and what tool are you using to uppack the distribution? I can make GUI.rc readonly on any of Win98, Win2k or Cygwin. Regards, Rob.

First of all thank you so much for being the author and/or maintainer of this module!!!! That is a lot of work. I had the same problem on my Windows XP Laptop. I found where the message was coming from, which was updateRC.pl. There was nothing wrong with updateRC.pl, so I checked the permissions of GUI.rc, which was not in the same directory. It is in C:\temp\Win32-GUI-1.05\GUI.rc. Sure enough, it was read only! I did the "attrib -R " thing on it and everything worked fine. A permanent change needs to take place in the downloaded gzipped tar file. Thanks

Thanks for the report - we do have a fix for this that will be in the next release. Regards, Rob.
