Hi, I too had a bit of problem installing Win32-GUI 1.0. Here's what I did to resolve my problem.
1. I downloaded the appropriate ppd version of Win32-GUI for my version of Perl from ActiveState. Since I'm using 5.8.x I downloaded the Win32-GUI ppd package specifically built for that version of Perl. 2. Next, I uncompressed the downloaded file into a temp directory (e.g. C:\temp). 3. Inside the temp directory the uncompressed file built another directory (I don't remember the name but started with Win32 etc etc). 4. I switched into that directory and looked for the file "Win32-GUI.ppd". 5. When I tried to launch the install as described in the readme file I got the same error you got (Win32-GUI already installed). I figured the problem was that I needed to upgrade instead of install so I typed "ppm upgrade -install Win32- GUI.ppd". At this point I think it failed again with a similar error message. I tried to remove the package and start from scratch, but again it installed the old version and not the new one. I figured the install just wasn't finding the local directory even though I was sitting in it when I launched the install command, so I started ppm and edited the repository. I removed the current repositories and added one for my local drive and pointed it to the temp directory (help for manipulating the repository can be found by typing "Help Repository" at the ppm prompt). Once I added that repository and removed the other ones, the install worked. 6. Finally, I added the old repositories back (so I could easily install other packages from ActiveState) and left the new one for my local drive as the last one on the repository list. I found the key to a successful install was to add my local temp directory to the repository list (and removing the other repositories), and then execute "ppm upgrade -install Win32-GUI.ppd". Hope that helps. On 29 Nov 2004 at 20:23, Roelof Bos wrote: > Hello, > > I am just trying to upgrade to Win32-GUI 1.0.
