Summary: ActivePerl batch installer fails with cmd.exe error Product: Wine Version: CVS Platform: Other URL: http://downloads.activestate.com/ActivePerl/Windows/5.8/ ActivePerl-5.8.8.817-MSWin32-x86-257965.zip OS/Version: other Status: NEW Keywords: download Severity: normal Priority: P2 Component: wine-programs AssignedTo: wine-bugs@winehq.org ReportedBy: dank@kegel.com
Because the MSI package wouldn't install, I tried the non-msi installer, http://downloads.activestate.com/ActivePerl/Windows/5.8/ActivePerl-5.8.8.817... This unpacks to a directory with a batch file you're supposed to run. The batch file does things like copy with lots of options (which probably won't work), but I tried it anyway with wcmd /c Installer.bat but it fails early because it has trouble running a subshell.
Seems like wcmd.exe needs a bit of work before it can handle this.
