Hello, i've removed the reference to x64 windows from the ppd because it is not necessary. Please try again. Sadly i have no Windows 32bit to test. Cheers, Jan

First of all, thanks for reporting this, and apologies for the extremely late answer. Second, according to CPAN Testers reports (http://www.cpantesters.org/distro/R/Rex.html), it looks like this was already been resolved at latest in 0.43.0 (probably earlier, but I couldn't find references from back then yet). Unfortunately there were other issues with using Rex on Windows since then, but all known issues were resolved recently in 0.55.3 (GitHub reference: https://github.com/RexOps/Rex/commit/b7a431c671d72bba0f8be908cd9d15882e14e4f0). Should you have any further issues with Rex, feel free to report them on GitHub (https://github.com/RexOps/Rex/issues). cheers, FErki
