Webmin Windows Installer Reports no ActiveState Perl - compilation

I use Webmin on Ubuntu and like it but can’t get it to install on Windows using the Webmininstall.exe. It reports that Perl is not installed but I did install the 32bit ActiveState Perl in advance as required and it is in the system path. It is NOT installed in C:\Perl as I never let anything install directly in c:. Any ideas?

How do I install XAMPP to another directory on Windows 10?

I'm having the hardest time installing XAMPP on C:\Development\xampp on Windows 10. I would like my C drive to be as clean as possible so I'm moving as many dev tools to the Development folder as I can to achieve this. I get an error towards the end of the XAMPP installation about a problem running the post-install step. It then suggests I install Microsoft Visual C++ 2008 Redistributable, which I already have the 2012 version installed. Originally XAMPP was installed on C:\ with no problems.
How do I install XAMPP to the above directory or any directory other than C:\?
Edit:
I have tried installing XAMPP portable and now receive the following error
I'm no longer on Windows so I can't re-test, but as I recall, the easiest way I managed this was to use the portable version of xampp.
Make sure to run the shell setup script so that it recognizes it's location properly.
You can get it from Apache Friends
Or from PortableApps.com

How to uninstall Trac on Windows?

I installed Trac on Windows 7 using Trac-1.0.1.win32.exe.
How do I cleanly uninstall this? My reason for uninstalling is that I installed it with Python 3.4, and then discovered that it actually requires Python 2.7. So I would like to remove the existing install, and re-install it for Python 2.7 .
Nothing appears for Trac in the Windows 7 "Add/Remove Programs" area. There is a program RemoveTrac.exe that was created under the Python34 directory, however when I run that it pops up a MessageBox with title Runtime Error and text This program is normally started by windows, and it does not uninstall.
I'm not sure but to me it seems that installer just checks your environment, detects some pathes and sets them in the installed Trac environment. Trac should be on top of Python and SVN. So likely, you can just remove the installed Trac directory.

Cannot install java_ee_sdk-7-jdk7-windows-x64.exe on fresh Windows 7 Ultimate

When I try to execute the installer, it starts "Extracting Bundled Java SDK ..." and then fails with "Error: Could not find the required version of the Java(TM) 2 Runrime Environment in '(null)'.".
What can I do? The OS is a Windows 7 Ultimate (just installed), virtualized with KVM under an Ubuntu 13.10.
Firefox and LibreOffice could be installed without any problem.
The pre requisite for JavaEE sdk7 installer is to have Jdk 7. So make sure, your environment variable path is pointing to JDK7\bin folder. And check java -version in command prompt, it should show you jdk 7 is current version in your system.
If both of the above are correct and it still doesn't work, then donot double click on the exe file directly, install it from command prompt, by giving location for JRE7 and
helping the installer to find jar files of JRE7, see below:
D:\installables>java_ee_sdk-7-jdk7-windows-x64.exe -j "C:\
Program Files\Java\jre7"
I had same problem, but this worked for me.

Installing PAR::Packer on Windows, dmake error 255

I am trying to create a binary of a perl script for Windows, and I cannot afford commercial applications such as perl2exe and Active Perl Dev Kit (I am aware there are trial versions).
Because of this I have installed strawberry perl on a Windows XP SP3 32bit Virtual Machine to try and compile my source file; something that I was easily able to do on Linux.
Strawberry perl installs fine however when I try to install the PAR::Packer module from cpan, I get the following errors:
dmake: Error code 129, while makeing 'ppresources.coff'
dmake.EXE: Error code 255, while making 'subdirs'
RSCHUPP/PAR-Packer-1.013.tar.gz
C:\strawberry\c\bin\dmake.EXE -- NOT OK
I have googled extensively, but as of yet haven't been able to find a solution, any help is greatly appreciated, thanks a lot!
Adding answer to aggregate comments above for future searchers:
Here's what works for me building on Windows systems.
1) Use ActiveState Perl 5.x (I've used 5.10 through 5.14).
2) Use PPM to install all packages you can from ActiveState PPM repository.
3) Fall back to CPAN to actually install PAR::Packer and any other requirements not in the ActiveState PPM repository.

How can I manually Installing DBD-Oracle 1.17 in ActivePerl on Windows?

After installing Active Perl 5.8.8 Build 822 on WindowsXP, I do not see DBD-Oracle in "View All Packages" of Perl Package Manager.
The CPAN location of the same is http://search.cpan.org/dist/DBD-Oracle-1.17/,
but I don't know the process to manually install this tar(DBD-Oracle-1.17.tar.gz) in ActivePerl.
Install Oracle Instant Client for Windows.
Do you really need to use ActivePerl 5.8.8 as the process is easier in 5.8.9.827 and above. Usually you just do:
cpan P/PY/PYTHIAN/DBD-Oracle-1.17.tar.gz
and if you don't have Microsoft Visual C on your path it downloads MinGW and installs it. I think if you are before 5.8.9 of ActivePerl you might have to install MinGW yourself with:
ppm install MinGW
but I think in 5.8.8 you will have to download, install and configure MinGW and dmake manually though, so you may not want to bother...
BTW, Do you really need to use DBD::Oracle 1.17? That is really old now. 1.26 is the latest.
