GRID install requires perl but keep getting perl errors

mbozenik

Installing GRID on Windows 2012 64 bit server.

Installed the pre-requisites like perl, java, WAS.

I installed strawberry perl 5.18 and tried 5.20 using 64bit msi.

During GRID install it complained about FileSecurity.pm missing.

So I ran cpan Win32::FileSecurity and created the FileSecurity.pm module.

Restarted the install and then it said it couldn't find the NetAdmin.pm

Now I'm trying to create that module "cpan Win32::NetAdmin" and it keeps failing to create the NetAdmin.pm module. Should strawberry perl work? The install guide says 5.18 and 5.20 are supported. Or should I be using ActivePerl? Do I need the 32bit version of strawberry perl? What other modules am I going to need?

Any help is greatly appreciated.

THis is the error when trying to create the NetAdmin module:

Hi! I had similar issues using Strawberry PERL.
I had no issues using ActiveState PERL ( which requires a license ).

You may be able to get Strawberry to work with some troubleshooting, but, the real choice is if you want to install GRID and make it work now, or if you would prefer to spend some time troubleshooting Strawberry.

Hopefully, someone has already taken the time to troubleshoot Strawberry ( probably some library dependency issue ). Best of luck!
