You cannot use IO::Tty with regular Perl on Windows because Windows doesn't use
pseudo-terminals.
The only way to get this working on Windows is by using the Cygwin Unix
emulation libraries (and Cygwin perl).

This is really just missing functionality in the Win32::OLE module. Some older
Microsoft documentation claimed that only VT_UI1 was
valid inside a VARIANTARG, but not VT_UI2, VT_UI4 etc. Same thing for VT_INT

them. I've checked the current doc

Try adding a second line here:
[propputref, id(30), helpstring("property TestSuite")
I think Win32::GetFolderPath() may be hat you are looking for. `perldoc Win32`
has all the details.
