Setting up pre5/11 Velious Beta1 + 6.1DR1 + Minilogin(windows)

Yes it sounds like the version your trying to run is a mismatch. Even though it was released last fall doesnt mean it will have the most up to date files. The files on Disk are probably the basic files of each when they were first made and still need the patching.

Try finding some of the 6.1 servers that are already up as a few offer a patcher that helps ppl be compatible with playing on them. What ye do is patch to live then run their patchers.

Ok I must be much thicker than most, so please do not killed me I read every post on this thread to make sure no one experienced the same problem..

Step 4. I extracted the DBD/DBI etc to their own directories, I go to cmd line and get to their respective directories (the one that contains the .ppd file) i type

install DBD-mysql.ppd

etc etc..

I keep getting this error.

'install' is not recognized as an internal or external command,
operable program or batch file.

you say in PPM type the install line... I'm not sure I follow what PPM is.

Well any insight into this would be much appreciated!

Before you do that, type PPM

Ok I typed:

C:\Documents and Settings\Alan\Desktop\Futility\DBD-mysql-2.9007>PPM install DBD
-mysql.ppd
'PPM' is not recognized as an internal or external command,
operable program or batch file.

I still got the same error, perhaps I can understand the problem more if I understood what PPM is ? thank you for your quick response, and again my apologies to post such a simple problem.

Did you install Perl correctly? If so, type PPM... once that loads type your "install soandso". Not all in the same command.
