Hi, This is probably not helpful but I had few problems installing and running Dwimperl on 32bit Windows XP. I've tested installation and use as both a privileged and a limited user.
The only issue I found is that if installed whilst logged in as a non privileged user ( by using 'Run As' on the installer ) updates to the system such as the path etc. are not updated until I log out and log back in again. But this isn't surprising as the Dwimperl installer does not attempt any system notifications etc. One thing I would check is that you are running latest Service Pack ( 3 ) with all updates applied. I seem to recall that the initial release of XP ( and maybe Service Pack 1 ) would choke on some features of an embedded manifest. The embedded manifest in Perl 5.14.2 is technically incorrect as it refers to the 'type' as 'Win32'. According to specification this is wrong and should be 'win32' ( lowercase ) - but many Windows versisons seem to parse this OK. If your XP is at Service Pack 1 ( or no service pack at all ) it would be good if you could do a test so that the possible manifest problem can be eliminated. I'll fix up a 'perl.exe' with no manifest and you could test if that one works. But there is really no point doing this if you have Service Pack 2 or above. Initially you could test the following: C:\Dwimperl\perl\bin\perl -MWin32 -V (note uppercase -V ) and make sure it gives output.
