upgrade problems (win32)

Posted on 2005-06-06 17:56:51-07 by goonfest

I am having trouble upgrading to the newest version (from version 3.26). After make install, this is what happens:

"C:\temp\html-parser\HTML-Parser-3.45>nmake install

Microsoft (R) Program Maintenance Utility Version 6.00.8168.0
Copyright (C) Microsoft Corp 1988-1998. All rights reserved.

Skipping C:\Perl\site\lib\auto\HTML\Parser\Parser.bs (unchanged)
Cannot forceunlink C:\Perl\site\lib\auto\HTML\Parser\Parser.dll: Permission deni
ed at C:\Perl\lib/File/Find.pm line 519
NMAKE : fatal error U1077: 'C:\Perl\bin\perl.exe' : return code '0xff'
Stop."

I have enabled full control for everyone on the HTML\Parser directory. I do not know what else to do or what is causing this error. Any help is appreciated. Thanks.

Re: upgrade problems (win32)

The clue is in the following.

Cannot forceunlink C:\Perl\site\lib\auto\HTML\Parser\Parser.dll: Permission denied at C:\Perl\lib/F +ile/Find.pm line 519

Looks like you already have installed an earlier version of HTML::Parser, but you don't have the permissions to remove it.

Try and rename C:\Perl\site\lib\auto\HTML\Parser\Parser.dll out of the way and do another nmake install

Thanks ivorw.
I did what you said and it installed just fine then.
