Hi,

Just trying to help my dad out here while I''m on Christmas vacation and
I hit this error while listing the Services via Service.services:

Win32::Service::Error: The system cannot find the file specified.
        from c:/ruby/lib/ruby/gems/1.8/gems/win32-service-0.6.0-x86-mswin32-60/l
ib/win32/service.rb:1334:in `get_config_info''
        from c:/ruby/lib/ruby/gems/1.8/gems/win32-service-0.6.0-x86-mswin32-60/l
ib/win32/service.rb:1085:in `services''
        from c:/ruby/lib/ruby/gems/1.8/gems/win32-service-0.6.0-x86-mswin32-60/l
ib/win32/service.rb:1047:in `upto''
        from c:/ruby/lib/ruby/gems/1.8/gems/win32-service-0.6.0-x86-mswin32-60/l
ib/win32/service.rb:1047:in `services''
        from (irb):5

This happens after listing about a dozen services or so just fine. I
can''t tell which service is causing this problem, as there appear to be
several services not listed in the Windows Services GUI that show up in the
Service.services call.

Hi,

I cannot repeat your problem. So I have no idea.
Please try with some debugging code insert before get_config_info to know what
service_name, display_name and other information cause the problem.

Hi,

I tried it again this morning and naturally I can no longer duplicate it either.
Now it works fine. :(

I can only guess that it was related to the Symantec services (aka Norton
Antivirus), which I later disabled. Perhaps whatever was causing the problem was
ultimately deleted. I tried several times to uninstall NAV but was only
partially successful.

The only thing I can think of is that there was a service installed, then
disabled, then the executable it pointed to was deleted but the service itself
was not. Could that have caused it? Otherwise, I''m not sure. I see one
or two similar posts on Google, but nothing definitive.

Anyway, feel free to reject this ticket if you like. We''ll just have to
keep it in mind if it ever shows up again.

Regards,

Dan

Ok, I figured out what caused this. The underlying registry entry was deleted
but the service still exists. Specifically, the QueryServiceConfig function
queries the registry.

I''ll check for ERROR_FILE_NOT_FOUND specifically, issue a warning about
the deleted registry entry, and set the various config variables to nil.

I''ll reassign this bug to myself now, too. :)

Dan
