Swish-e

Howdy...

I have an aging installation of swish-e (v2.4.3) on a Windows 2.3K 
server (and Active State Perl v5.8.7) that has been running flawlessly 
for almost 4 years. It's now locking up IIS on searches (not yet sure of 
the search input) and locking up on re-building indexes nightly.

It's apparently "random" and doesn't happen when I manually execute my 
ASP pages, batch and vbs files that run via Scheduled Tasks.

So I thought I'd upgrade to the latest version of swish-e (v2.4.7). I 
backed up my previous installation and installed the new version over 
the old installation. (First mistake?) Edited the startup and config 
files for the new /bin/ location of the exe, and got a Failed to find 
program 'perl.exe' error.

I then reinstalled v2.4.7 in it's own clean directory, moved over my 
startup scripts and config file, same error.

Here's the error in full:

# Command line start of swish-e indexing #

Files\SWISH-E.v2\indexes>"C:\Progra~1\SWISH-E.v2\bin\swish-e.exe" -S

As you can see perl is in my path by default. If I run the fixperl.pl it 
says it finds the executable. I've tried changing my config file so that 
IndexDir says:

c:\perl\bin\perl.exe
c:\\perl\\bin\\perl.exe
c:/perl/bin/perl.exe

Not sure where to go from here. Any help would be appreciated.
