I installed PAR using ppm. It seemed to work. It created an executable file that ran.
It seems that what it's doing is putting (installing?) Perl, or at least a big piece of it, in a "temp" file. Specifically: C:\Documents and Settings\Administrator\Local Settings\Temp\par-Administrator\cache-1153854792 If I wasn't logged on as admin, could it write to a file in that part of the dir tree? If it can do that, it "looks like" executing off the CD should be much the same thing, without installing a bunch of files on the host computer. Unless that executable, in addition to those files, added registry entries as well. Hummm... ms At 01:16 PM 7/25/2006, you wrote: > par-0.942 includes the Perl Packager.
