Found on my own. It might interest you.
1. I install the ppm hotfix just to make sure; avail. from
http://www.activestate.com/PPM/
2. I noticed that in the original DBI.ppd included in DBI.zip gotten from
http://www.activestate.com/PPMPackages/5.005/zips/
the file contain the fol code:
<IMPLEMENTATION>
<OS NAME="MSWin32" />
<ARCHITECTURE NAME="MSWin32-x86-object" />
<CODEBASE HREF="x86/DBI.tar.gz" />
</IMPLEMENTATION>
Which doesn't work on Win 2000 (or Nt4 - haven't tried).
Soln: Change the <ARCHITECTURE NAME="MSWin32-x86-object" /> for
<ARCHITECTURE NAME="MSWin32-x86-multi-thread" />
3. I found this comparing the .ppd fil that came with the PPM hotfix zipped
file (which is newer).
4. I'll send this to the author of the DBI module.

And then unzipped the file DBI.zip into a directory called DBI. The with
the command prompt, I go into that directory and then use the fol cmd:
ppm install DBI.ppd
And I get the fol error :
