from your explanations I don't understand why using
perl Makefile.PL
nmake
does not work for you.
It actually works for me (for other modules - I haven't tried AdminMisc) but you should report and fix errors starting namely this way - any errors should be fixed from there
That said, IMO you're heading wrong direction.

This was the whole point. AdminMisc is still quite useful but not maintained any longer and annoying to recompile (it deals with the Windows API afterall). If you want to upgrade to Perl 5.10 you won't be able to find a PPM so without a fairly old compiler and the process I posted you would be out of luck
UPDATE :
OK, I have received a lot of mail since posting this so decided to add support for 5.10 to Roth's existing ppd and host it on my site at http://www.ramtek.us.
That ppd should work for ActiveState 5.6,5.8 and 5.10
Enjoy

I went to the website, but could find nothing - can you send me a link?
Thanks in advance for your support.

Do you have the setup (and energy) to provide Win32::AdminMisc for ActiveState 5.12 ??? Thanks

This is awesome, thanks so much!

I had a look at the roth website, and all the modules I examined (all both of them) appear to be available under the Artistic License or the GPL.
So the good news is that there's nothing stopping anyone from getting the code and fixing the makefile, and making the forked version of the module available to the world.
However, the bad news is that there's nothing anyone can do to force that change back onto the roth website (well, unless you're his mum, perhaps) and it takes time and effort to maintain a forked module (otherwise, some poor soul has exactly the same problem with the next bug they want fixed, but doubled).
Anyone tried asking nicely?
Failing that, does anyone know his mum?

then, this is the first bug to fix: lack of Makefile.PL
