Hi,

Having trouble installing Spam Assassin 3.1.5 (and the same error with 3.1.1) on
a stock standard Windows Server 2003. It also has build 819 of Perl installed on it.


I’ve installed all needed packages via the new PPM GUI and verified all the
packages.

The path definitely has C:/perl/bin  in it and server restarted after each
attempt to install it again.

However, every time, after a successful “Perl MAKEFILE.PL” command I try and run
the ‘NMAKE’ command it fails.


Here is the error message received in the prompt:

--------------------------------------------------------------------

C:\Mail-SpamAssassin-3.1.5>NMAKE

Any ideas?? I’m stumped! 

If you require any further info or the complete Makefile.pl printout also please
just ask.


Best regards,
