To complete this thread for anyone encountering a similar problem, the fix I said I'd try (below) worked. Specifically, I installed the latest Strawberry Perl, modified the path so the first reference points to the new Perl, and R CMD build, check, INSTALL, and "INSTALL -build" all seemed to work properly. Of course, there is always a chance of some deeply hidden problem, but the obvious first tests seemed to function exactly as I have come to expect.

 Hello:


I just installed 14 security updates for Vista x64, and now "R CMD build packagename" terminates, saying, "perl.exe has stopped working". I reinstalled Rtools211 using the latest version after uninstalling the version I installed on 4/3/2010.


What do you suggest? I can install the latest version of perl from "www.perl.org" (5.12.1), but I thought I'd ask here first.


      Thanks,
