Re: Trying to install Perl on XP Professional -- getting dialog error 2755, 110

[Jeff Griffiths]

this is the tricky thing with XP for many users. XP uses NTFS by 
default, which means that ACL permissions are applied to all 
filesystems. The Activeperl msi installer is actually installed using 
the MSI service, run as the SYSTEM account and NOT as your user account, 
so many users run into problems with this particularly in cases where:

1. they are installing to a new drive formatted with NTFS where the 
SYSTEM account has no privs

2. they are installing from a drive or loaction the SYSTEM account 
doesn't have access to (eg a mapped drive)

3. the c:\%systemroot%\Installer folder's permissions have been messed 
with, or it has been removed.

	Sorry to be so slow in responding. What happened was that I was working with XP for the first time and made a security change and I did it at the wrong place. So basically ended up with no real access to the machine. Ended up having to have the machine rebuilt.

	I just a few minutes ago retried and everything worked as it should when it came to installing Perl on the machine.  Just as I would have expected.

	So thanks to each who responded, but as usual the real enemy was me!

Subject: Trying to install Perl on XP Professional -- getting dialog
error 2755, 110
	I have never had problem w/ installing Perl until I tried to install
on XP Professional. I have tried both 5.6.1.635 and 5.81.807 and both
fail with the same error.  

	I took a look on www.microsoft.com and it talks about .NET install
and a problem w/ a temp folder being encrypted, but I have checked
the temp folder where I am installing from and it is not encrypted.  

	The error dialog given is:

        Internal Error 2755, 110
     c:\TEMP\ActivePerl-5.6.1.635-MSWin32-x86.msi
	System was just created last week. It is XP Professional Version
2002 Service Pack 1 w/ 504 meg of memory. 

	Any ideas or where I should be looking?

	Thanks!

Wags ;)
