Subject: installation error msg give erroneous URL for nmake
Hi, when installing PAR 0.76 on Win98 with ActiveState Perl 5.6.1 using the provided Makefile.PL, I get the following error message (which correctly describes a correctly-detected error): Show quoted text
>The required 'nmake' executable not found, fetching it... >Fetching 'nmake15.exe' from download.microsoft.com... Fetching failed: > >-------------------------------------------------------------------------- > >Since you are using Microsoft Windows, you will need the 'nmake' utility >before installation. It's available at: > > http://download.microsoft.com/download/vc15/Patch/1.52/W95/EN-US/nmake15.exe > ftp://ftp.microsoft.com/Softlib/MSLFILES/nmake15.exe
When I try to download nmake using the given URL, it fails, but if I capitalize the 'N' in 'Nmake15.exe' it works. So, at least today, the given URL should be: http://download.microsoft.com/download/vc15/Patch/1.52/W95/EN-US/Nmake15.exe A minor thing; I'm impresed you tried to download it for me. Thanks for a great tool.

Funny, I thought IIS is case-insensitive. :-) But okay, noted, and changed in Module::Install::Win32. Thanks, /Autrijus/
