[PDK-Beta] Dump Variable tmpfile cleanup
Thanks for the report; I've opened a bug for it.
http://bugs.activestate.com/show_bug.cgi?id=34327
For now you should be able to work around the problem by using the 8.3
pathname in PERL5LIB.
C:\> perl -e"print Win32::GetShortPathName($ENV{PERL5LIB})"
C:\PROGRA~1\ACTIVE~2.0\lib C:\> set PERL5LIB=C:\PROGRA~1\ACTIVE~2.0\lib
Cheers,
-Jan

Before the PerlMSI used to be installed under c:/perl/eg/.., a path location not containing
any long file names or spaces.
Currently the PDK 6.0 is installed under program files and does not work well with the Scrip
tGenerator.pl script that generates the
script for creating the msi file.
C:\Program Files\ActiveState Perl Dev Kit 6.0 Beta 1\Samples\PerlMSI\Install_Wizard>
The ScriptGenerator.pl will just not create the script because of those long filenames.
