perl.exe has stopped working

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,
      Best Wishes,
      Spencer Graves
