Re: [perl-win32-gui-users] Sample Application to load Adobe Acrobat ActiveX control

[Octavian R. <ora...@gm...>]

Hi,

Can you please tell me where from I can get Win32::GUI 1.06?

I have the Theoryx repository set in ppm, but the latest available version 
is 1.03 there.
I have also tried to compile Win32::GUI using the cpan shell (I have VS6) 
but as usually, it gave some compiling errors that I don't know how to 
solve.

Thank you.

Octavian
