Hi All,

I'm struggling to get the PDK 6.0 beta 1 debugger started on WinXP.

U:\> perl -d test.pl
Failed to start the ActiveState Perl Debugger.
Please ensure that the ActiveState Perl Debugger is properly installed
and try again.

Ive tried :
1) Reinstalling the application (PDK-6.0.0.114191.msi located on my D:
drive);
2) Restarting the PDKDEBUG service;
3) Checking the PATH to ensure it includes c:\Program Files\ActiveState
Perl Dev Kit 6.0 Beta 1\bin
4) Changing the PDKDEBUG debug service to use my domain\user account 

... but it didn't help. 

PerlApp does appear work so presumably it's not my license key at fault.
Any suggestions ?


Alistair

PS The documentation has a typo. You don't need to repeat the text
pdkdebug in "net stop pdkdebug pdkdebug"
