It does not seem to be a matter of rights not set properly (see update 1 above), since a script I wrote can do the extraction. Anyhow, I'm running now as "Admin" with full rights, but still no luck.

Do the directories C:\data\tmp, for the temp files, and C:\data\Perl\etc, for ppm-site-dirty, exist?
Is it just installation of this particular package that's a problem, or is there now a problem with any package, including one from ActiveState's repository?

C:\data\tmp and C:\data\Perl\etc both exist.At first I thought it made no difference which package I try to install. The ones I tried and used Archive::Tar end with a similar error, but the ones which use Archive::Zip work! So there must be something wrong with the use of Archive::Tar as used by ActivePerl::PPM::Client. (See update 2 above)

Only one copy of perl.exe running and it cleanly exits. It even deletes the temporary directory and its content (the archive-file).

I deinstalled XML::LibXML::Common - and during reinstall, I tried to provoke an installation error (by messing around with temporary files on which Perl/lib/ActiveState/ModInfo.pm::parse_version()" is called (which produces your error). In the end, I *didn't* manage to prevent XML::LibXML::Common from installing ;-) So there has to be some other crazy stuff in the way ...
