Can’t install Perl-5.32 (nothing happens when I run the command)

Perl
#1

I can’t install Perl using the CLI. All I get is this:

Microsoft Windows [version 10.0.19042.1348]

C:\Users\alexandreh>powershell -Command "& $([scriptblock]::Create((New-Object Net.WebClient).DownloadString('https://platform.activestate.com/dl/cli/w19609w01/install.ps1'))) -activate-default ActiveState/Perl-5.32"
• Preparing Installer for State Tool Package Manager...
C:\Users\alexandreh>

(nothing more than “preparing etc.”)

I even went to look at your YouTube tutotarial but I can’t find a difference in my procedure. My Windows 10 is 64-bit. I tried the procedure with and without admin rights. Is there anything I did wrong or I should have done before?

#2

Hi @alexandrehuat - I’ve alerted the State Tool team about this and will let you know once I’ve learned anything.

Cheers.

#3

Hi @alexandrehuat - it’s come to my attention that we had a brief outage that coincides with the time you posted, so it’s possible that re-running the command will be successful.

Would you mind trying it again and reporting back?

#4

I’ve just tried again and the result is the same.

However, I’ve successfully installed Perl with Strawberry Perl since. I don’t know if it can change something.

Same happens with my installation:
DOS cmd: the script runs for less than a minute and nothing happens:

I have the same issue trying to install Perl -5.28. When I try to install the State Tool, it never comes back.

If you’re on Windows 10 20H1 or higher, using Powershell 5 and .NET updated to the latest versions of each, and have unproxied access to the internet, please start a new topic as it could be related to Version 34 which is brand new.
