in thread ppm install with --location

Thanks for the info. However, one solution brings another challenge..

rep add FOO "C:\...\desktop"
added the folder to the available repositories.

After searching and attempting to install, I get

Error: no suitable installation target found for package Win32-Lanman.

Thanks again for any constructive advice.

    You need to:

    0) quit PPM
    1) edit win32-lanman.ppd
    2) change <ARCHITECTURE NAME="MSWin32-x86-multi-thread" /> in <ARCHITECTURE NAME="MSWin32-x86-multi-thread-5.8" />
    3) change <CODEBASE HREF="MSWin32-x86-multi-thread/Win32-Lanman.tar.gz" /> in <CODEBASE HREF="MSWin32-x86-multi-thread-5.8/Win32-Lanman.tar.gz" />
    4) rename the directory MSWin32-x86-multi-thread in MSWin32-x86-multi-thread-5.8
    5) install as said in the previous node
