How did you install the module Win32::AdminMisc in the first place? Did you do: `1. download the package 2. compile and install the package: perl Makefile.PL nmake nmake install nmake test` [download] Other than that, you have to be more specific about the exact error message you are getting, as there can be many reasons why a DLL won't load.

Have you used PPM to install this module or have you attempted to do it manually? If you're doing it manually, then you need to ensure that the "AdminMisc.dll" file is present in the Perl\bin and Perl\site\lib\auto\Win32\AdminMisc directories.	[reply]
