Hey I'm having trouble installing PAR::Packer on win7 x64, everything is OK except the last part. I get the message after the tests: Tests succeeded but one dependency not OK (Win32::Exe) RSCHUPP/PAR-Packer-1.012.tar.gz [dependencies] -- NA Running make install make test had returned bad status, won't install without force And I can't install it! Please help me solve the problem or fix the bug. For installation, I just did "cpan -i PAR::Packer". Thanks, Darren.

Thanks but I can't get it working on x64 OS... Win32::Exe doesn't get installed and fails in the tests. Is there an alternative or a substitute? Thanks, Darren.

Please file a bug report for Win32::Exe Show quoted text

Sorry, no. If you feel adventurous, delete the line "requires Win32::Exe" from Makefile.PL and install (or simply force the install). You might get lucky if you don't use any option of pp that actually needs Win32::Exe (--gui, --icon, --info). Cheers, Roderich
