So you have 2 options: 1. Try an older version of Perl as suggested by Ulrich Diez and mentioned in my earlier message http://tug.org/pipermail/latex2html/2002-August/001979.html where it may be possible to use long path names and/or 2. Reinstall Miktex, Ghostscript and all the other programs in directories with short file names (eg c:\texmf, c:\gs etc) and tell the config program you want Latex2html in eg c:\l2h. Ensure that you have completely uninstalled all the programs (including Latex2html installation) so that there is no possibility of programs being found in the old paths. I hope this will work. I will be particularly interested if option 1 works with long file names.
