I am using a Windows XP PC.

I am using Activestate Perl version 5.8.6.

I installed the AdminMisc module as follows from the DOS command line :

    D:\  ppm install
http://www.orth.net/perl/packages/win32-adminmisc.ppd

The install went fine (i.e. no errors from PPM)

Here is the test script I wrote

========================================

#!/usr/bin/perl -w

use strict;
use Win32::AdminMisc;

my ( $status , $total , $free );

($total,$free) = Win32::AdminMisc::GetDriveSpace("c:\\");

exit 0;

When I run the test sc ript from the DOS command line I receive an
error message as follows :

     This application has failed to start because MSVCR70.dll was not
found. Re-installing this application may fix this problem.


Does anyone have any ideas about hwo to fix this problem ?

MSVCR70 is the Microsoft Visual C Runtime. Any DLL or EXE complied with MS VC 7.0 will need it. You should be able to get it from the Microsoft website.

Note: the fact that you don't already have MSCVR70.DLL already implies that the perl.exe was complied with a different version of VC from AdminMisc.dll. In principle this can be problematic as MS don't promise binary compatability between minor versions of their C libraries. I've never yet found it to be a real problem.
