OK. I'm not 100% sure where that error comes from... could you run
'install.pl [LDRAWDIR] 2>err' and email me the err file that comes out. The last
two lines indicate success (which they should do more obviously) while the
others seem to be a system error which should have been caught. Strange.

To get it up and running quickly just copy everything to the directory and make
a batch file img2sticker.bat which looks like

perl -I[I2SDIR] [I2SDIR]\img2sticker.pl %*

where [I2SDIR] is the directory you've installed everything in. NB. This .bat
file can go anywhere really and so long as it is seen by the PATH variable it
*should*run.

That is really the whole point of the installer so I might just leave out
install.pl and give that instruction instead. Seems to be easier.

I'm currently working on a new version in C which should be much easier.

Tim
