I just made a clean installation of Cygwin 1.7 and all its assorted goodies. I am unable to install Win32::OLE into Perl 5.14. I couldn't do this in my previously working environment, I was hoping that a clean install would remedy the problem. I've attached the console output, as well as the cygcheck output. Thanks for any help you can provide, I need this for a development project. I got these errors when I tried to run cygcheck. I've never seen them before: [JJR:/cygdrive/e/unified] $ cygcheck -s -v -r > cygcheck.out ema/usr/bin/cygrunsrv: warning: OpenService failed for 'DcomLaunch': Win32 error 5 Access is denied. /usr/bin/cygrunsrv: warning: OpenService failed for 'ose64': Win32 error 5 Access is denied. /usr/bin/cygrunsrv: warning: OpenService failed for 'osppsvc': Win32 error 5 Access is denied. /usr/bin/cygrunsrv: warning: OpenService failed for 'pla': Win32 error 5 Access is denied. /usr/bin/cygrunsrv: warning: OpenService failed for 'QWAVE': Win32 error 5 Access is denied. /usr/bin/cygrunsrv: warning: OpenService failed for 'RpcEptMapper': Win32 error 5 Access is denied. /usr/bin/cygrunsrv: warning: OpenService failed for 'RpcSs': Win32 error 5 Access is denied. -- Jim Reisert AD1C, , http://www.ad1c.us
