It's not the binary and library you need, it's the DLL which supports the scripting, and the registry entry for that DLL needs to be made. So if you can't change the Registry you are out of luck.

As WillFa says, Lua is supplied with MUSHclient and does not rely on the Registry.

Nope. Mushclient relies (mostly) on the Windows ActiveScript interface, and needs the scripting engines to have registered itself.

For a scripting language that does not need the registry, there's Lua.

i am trying to set up the client on an xp machine, without administrator privileges.

activeperl runs well enough using the perl binary, but registry has been locked for modification.

is there a way to tell the client where the perl binary and it's libraries are located without using the script interface?

tia.

Perl installer?


The file we were discussing:


http://downloads.activestate.com/ActivePerl/releases/5.12.2.1202/ActivePerl-5.12.2.1202-MSWin32-x86-293621.msi


That installs Perl.

Well I tried to reproduce this on a spare PC.

I downloaded and installed MUSHclient v4.63:

http://www.gammon.com.au/forum/?id=10640

I then made a new world and tried to switch to Perlscript and got the error message you mentioned.

I then downloaded the Perl installer and ran that. 22.6 Mb lol compared to 3.1 Mb for MUSHclient. Oh well.

About 10 minutes later, when the Perl installer finished, I re-opened MUSHclient, and switched to Perl. No error message, and a test of Perl worked.

This was under Windows XP, I don't know what version of MUSHclient you are using or what operating system, but it ought to work. Maybe uninstall any earlier versions of Perl in case you had the 64-bit one already there.

The x86 version is the 32-bit one (it refers to the old 8086 processor). See:

I'm having a real hard time finding the 32-bit active pearl. I've found 86 and 64 bit but I can't seem to find 32 bit. Would anyone happen to have a link?

Thanks for clearing that up Worstje! I have amended the topic headers for Perl and Python to mention that you should get the 32-bit versions.
