Cannot install PDK 7.2

[Roode, Eric]

Today I downloaded the Perl Dev Kit 7.2.0 from ActiveState's site, and
attempted to install it on our server.

It started okay, but then I got an error dialog:

    "Error writing to file: Perl510RT72.dll  Verify that you have access
to that directory"
    [Retry]  [Cancel]

I do not know what "that directory" is (there is no indication on-screen
anywhere), but I was running as Administrator so I am pretty sure I had
access to wherever it was.

When I clicked [Retry], I got a dialog that said:

    "Internal Error 2350"
    [OK]

Then when the install was cleaning up, it displayed:

    "ActiveState Perl Dev Kit 7.2.0 buiild 284799 setup wizard ended
prematurely because of an error.  Your system has not been modified.  To
install this program at a later time, ple..."

It just ends there, literally with "ple...".

Help me, ple...

This is a bug in the installer: it does not detect that .NET 2.0 isn't
installed, and .NET 2.0 is a pre-requisite for installing PerlNET.

If you intend to use PerlNET, then you need to install .NET 2.0 before
installing the PDK.  If you don't need PerlNET, then you can just
deselect it manually in the components selection dialog and your install
should work normally, installing the rest of the PDK without problem.

Cheers,
-Jan
