The horrors of UAC and NTFS permissions... It might have been simpler
just to rename tlperl.

Do you _need_ an admin install?

The module concerned consists of the following files:

<root>\tlpkg\tlperl\site\lib\auto\Win32\OLE\OLE.dll
<root>\tlpkg\tlperl\site\lib\OLE.pm
<root>\tlpkg\tlperl\site\lib\Win32\OLE.pm
<root>\tlpkg\tlperl\site\lib\Win32\OLE\Const.pm
<root>\tlpkg\tlperl\site\lib\Win32\OLE\Enum.pm
<root>\tlpkg\tlperl\site\lib\Win32\OLE\Lite.pm
<root>\tlpkg\tlperl\site\lib\Win32\OLE\NEWS.pod
<root>\tlpkg\tlperl\site\lib\Win32\OLE\NLS.pm
<root>\tlpkg\tlperl\site\lib\Win32\OLE\TPJ.pod
<root>\tlpkg\tlperl\site\lib\Win32\OLE\TypeInfo.pm
<root>\tlpkg\tlperl\site\lib\Win32\OLE\Variant.pm

Are these present?
