I've tried RC2 on Windows XP Pro SP2 and found 2 problems.

#1 When I access the POPFile UI, POPFile stops.

The new version of HTML::Template requires Scalar::Util and
Scalar::Util requires List::Util. This modules is not included
in the POPFile package.

#2 The installer can't find http://getpopfile.org/ssl-patch/0.22.x.pcf

When I choose to install the SSL module, the installer will
try to download http://getpopfile.org/ssl-patch/0.22.x.pcf but
the file is not found.

Close but no cigar, I'm afraid ;)

Back in February we agreed to switch to ActivePerl 5.8.8 Build 820 so I updated the installer to use Build 820 which has some different Perl dependencies  but RC2 was built using 5.8.8 Build _819_ so things don't work properly.

Looks like it would be a good idea include some build-time checks into the installer to catch this sort of problem.

I thought John was going to create the directory and put the files there (and I guess he thought I was going to do that).

I've had some computer trouble recently and have been without developer access for many weeks (at least that is my excuse).
