[webmin-l] Installing Webmin on Windows XP Pro Problem

[Terry A. <hm...@oz...>]

Hi again,
	I posted to the list over the weekend & it may have been lost 
amongst the other threads, so I'll try again.
	I have run Webmin on OSX & other *nix variants for a long 
time, n problems with installation etc.... However, I have a client 
who needs an automated method to administer password protected 
directories on Apache under Windows XP Professional & I cannot find 
any other tool to do it for Windows other than Webmin, which is my 
preferred choice anyway.
	However, I have been as yet unable to get Webmin installed, 
with the same errors as other people have posted but I have been 
unable to find a solution.
	The process to get it installed so far is as follows:

1 - Install Activestate Perl - latest version
2 - Download/extract Webmin .zip file to C:\webmin
3 - On a command prompt enter - perl setup.pl
4 - Output from Webmin setup script is:

Perl seems to be installed OK
This is followed by:

  a number of 'The system cannot find the path specified', followed by

'Failed to create temp directory C:\DOCUMEN~1\Owner\LOCALS~1\Temp

	At Jamie's suggestion, I have tried changing the path to temp 
to C:\temp & also tried c:\tmp, but the error stays pretty much the 
same - an empty directory gets created in C:\etc\ called Webmin & 
also C:\var\ - so the script begins to run it's course, but something 
is hanging it up.
	To answer the first question, yes, I am running as an 
administrator user & I have also logged in as Administrator just to 
see if that worked but no luck yet.

	Has anyone successfully overcome these obstacles & if so, 
could they please post to the list or to my address directly - I have 
been unable to find any further answers to this - any help is very 
much appreciated.

	Bye for now, Terry Allen
