Oh weird, I wonder where the hell THAT hard-coded value came from.
OK, I think I can deal with the problem, but not in the very short term.
I've found another one or two minor configuration things that slipped
through the cracks since the initial release, so I'll probably do an
updated -1 release in the next few weeks.
In the mean time, I recommend you change that to C:\strawberry\ppm
(and create the directory), which is the directory name I'll most
likely be replacing that value with in the updated version.
