I'm sorry to hear that you're having trouble. This sounds like it might be a PATH issue. What do you get from "echo %PATH%" from the command line? On 7/10/07, Richard Byrne MRCVS Partner via RT <bug-Perl-Dist-Strawberry@rt.cpan.org> wrote: Show quoted text

Dear Support Sorry I seem to have solved the problem - with a SIMPLE SYSTEM REBOOT ! Thanks Richard, Banbury **IMPORTANT DISCLAIMER************************************* This message is confidential.

Glad that worked. I'm going to leave this ticket open as a reminder that we should probably prompt a reboot after installation.
I suspect that rather than a reboot, we just need to close any existing command line shells and restart them.
