Hi All, 
I am currently trying to downloading/running Antconc on my Windows 10  64-bit system. My computer language is German, if that makes any difference  Every time I download version 3.5.9, or any of the older versions. I get the same error message:
"Error: Can't locate perl518.dll. Make sure the ActivePerl is in your PATH"

...and then a very long path.

If anyone has any tips on how to do this, please let me know, 

Cheers, 
Kate

Hi Kate,

I suggest you try putting AntConc on your desktop and launching it from there. Also, is your user name using any non-English characters? That might affect the path to the app.

Regards,

Laurence.
