Hi there,

just wanted to let you know, that someone using ANI told me, that he
could install Windows 2000 with it just fine, but that was it: no
error-popup, no software installation and no joining to domain. He was
left with a freshly installed Windows without modifications...

Browsing through the log, he found out, that the version of
active-states perl he used to install perl needed an msi-installer which
had to be newer than the one shipped with win2K. After having
slipstreamed to a Service Pack, everything was OK then.

see http://ani.sourceforge.net/installation.php for information about
perl, if you stick to the recommended version 5.6.1.638 there, you won't
have these kind of troubles :-)

I don't know about the original XP (no SPs) and the newest versions of
active-states perl-packages, just be warned.

Cheers Xa
