Shad recently noticed this as well. I guess I haven't tried a non-integrated deployment for a while. Is there a reason you cannot slipstream the service pack? > I was previously using Windows 2000 SP4 (Intergregrated) and it was > never an issue. I believe Windows 2000 SP3 bundled Windows Installer 2.0. It would seem the Perl MSI file requires it. This may be tricky to fix. As a first pass, you can download the installer for Windows Installer 2.0 by following the links at <http://support.microsoft.com/?kbid=292539>. Figure out the silent installation switches and add the invocation to postinst.bat just before perl.bat runs. If we are lucky, it won't require rebooting the machine. If we are unlucky... Well, therein lies the tricky part. If you try this, please let me know the results. Another option is to run the SP4 installer using the svcpack.inf mechanism.
