Hi Armin,

I've been watching this thread for a few days now and, although I don't 
know the exact answer I do have a hunch.

If we can assume that the "installation target" in the error message is 
the Perl installation on your computer then it seems that PPM is finding 
the module repositories just fine (since it can find modules when 
searching) but doesn't know where to install the modules on your 
computer.  I don't know why this would happen but perhaps your Perl 
install got messed up somehow and now PPM doesn't know where your Perl 
installation is on your hard drive.

Perhaps if you re-run the Perl installation things might come good.

Hope this helps,
Sam
