- + Potential Installation Issues
-
- + Installer may crash under certain circumstances
-
- InstallShield may sometimes fail in _ins0432._mp after copying files.
-
- After much investigation into this issue, we have been unable to track down
- a specific cause for this in our installation procedure. Users experiencing
- this problem should see the following InstallShield KB document:
-
- Document ID: Q100198
- http://support.installshield.com/kb/
-
- Summary:
-
- A Setup program that has been tested and works correctly on most
- development systems is terminating during initialization with one of the
- following errors on some systems:
-
- - Setup Initialization Error 102,104, 105, 112, or 301
- - Installation stops responding without displaying a message.
- - A General Protection Fault (GPF) error.
- - Windows "Program has performed an illegal operation" dialog box.
-
- Workaround:
-
- Reboot, and do not run any 16-bit executables before running the installer.
- This has been reported to fix the issue on some installations.
-
- + Installer may report a "Cannot Create Perl Interpreter" error
-
- This problem may be caused by installing into a previous ActivePerl
- installation that has version information in the directory structure. For
- instance, if the version of ActivePerl you are attempting to install
- is based on 5.005_03, you are installing over an ActivePerl based on
- 5.005_02, and the directory structure contains the version information
- 5.00502, then the installation will fail with an error similar to "Cannot
- create Perl interpreter in PerlEz".
-
- Workaround:
-
- If the Perl directory structure contains version information, ie. 5.00502,
- uninstall the old ActivePerl and remove any remaining files and
- directories. Then install the latest build of ActivePerl. Alternatively,
- install into a completely separate directory tree.
-
- Solution:
-
- The current ActivePerl distribution does not install into a version
- specific directory by default. It is up to the user to specify version
- information in the directory structure if desired and be aware of the
- issues involved.
-
-
- + ActivePerl Installation Options
-
- + Add the Perl bin directory to your path
-
- Selecting this option will cause the Perl bin directory to be added to the
- end of the PATH, and all other Perl directories to be removed from the
- PATH.
-
- + Associate '.pl' with Perl.exe in Explorer
-
- Selecting this option will create the Perl File Type which will enable you
- to run a Perl script by double clicking on it in Windows Explorer.
- Additionally on Windows NT you can run the script by just typing the name
- of the script file and pressing enter at the command shell prompt.
-
- + Associate '.pl' with Perl.exe for your Web server(s)
-
- Selecting this option will create a script map association between Perl.exe
- and files that end with '.pl' in IIS and WebSite Web servers. This will
- cause files ending with the '.pl' extension to be run by Perl.exe and the
- output from the script will be sent back to the Web browser.
-
- + Associate '.plx' with Perl for ISAPI in IIS
-
- Selecting this option will create a script map association between
- PerlIS.dll and files that end with '.plx' in IIS. This will cause files
- ending with the '.plx' extension to be run by the PerlIS DLL and the output
- from the script will be sent back to the Web browser.
