Hi John,

Please make sure you are using the latest ChartDirector download, which inlcudes Perl 5.24 support. ChartDirector released before Perl 5.24 cannot contain Perl 5.24 support.

Please download the ChartDirector for Perl suitable for your Perl architecture. For example, if your Perl architecture is for Windows 64-bit, please download ChartDirector for Perl for Windows 64-bit. (Note that both 32-bit Perl and 64-bit Perl can run on Windows 64-bit. So even if your OS is Windows 64-bit, it does not necessarily imply the Perl OS architecture is Windows 64-bit.) You can use "perl -V" to determines its OS architecture.

After download the suitable operating system edition of Perl, please remember to "unblock" it. See:

http://www.advsofteng.com/unblock_zip.html

After that, please unzip it, and copy all files in "ChartDirector/lib" to any directory that is in the Perl search path. From your error message, it seems you are using "C:/Perl64/site/lib/". In this case, please copy all files in "ChartDirector/lib" to "C:/Perl64/site/lib/".

Please test the installation by opening a command prompt, go to the "ChartDirector/perldemo" folder, then enter "perl simplebar.pl". If everything is working, this should produce no error message and a chart image "simplebar.png" should be produced.

Hope this can help.

Regards
Peter Kwan

Hi Peter - not the OP but having exactly the same issue. Latest downloads for Windows on the 'Download' page here look to contain .dlls for 'perlchartdir522' but not 'perlchartdir524'. Is a newer version available elsewhere?

Hi Jon,

Sorry for this problem. We found out the windows editions of ChartDirector for Perl on our web site was in fact not updated to support Perl 5.24. I have just uploaded the correct updated version to our web site. Please download once more. It should now contain the perlchartdir524.
