I am using Windows Server 2007 SP2
When I try to install Rails using Gems, it gives me the following error
in the DOS console:
---------------------
C:\>gem install rails
ERROR: While executing gem ... (Errno::EACCES)
Permission denied - C:/Program Files/Ruby19/bin/rake.bat
C:\>
---------------------
Then, starting the DOS console as an administrator and retyping the
command gives the following result:
---------------------
C:\>gem install rails
ERROR: While executing gem ... (Errno::ENOENT)
No such file or directory - P:/
---------------------
Can anyone help on this ?
Sébastien

Hi Sharagoz, Please see the second part of my message above. That''s exactly what I did, but there''s still an error.

Do you mean that you''re running it under an administrator account, or are you right-clicking on the cmd icon and chosing "run as administrator"? You need to do the latter, being an administrator is not enough. -- Posted via http://www.ruby-forum.com/. -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "Ruby on Rails: Talk" group.

I am both administrator on the system and doing "Run as administrator" to launch the DOS console.

I definatly should have read your opening post more carefully. I see that there''s a difference between the error message in normal and elevated mode now, which is weird. I would start by uninstalling Ruby and then reinstalling it into a directory without a space in the filename (like C:\ruby), then try to install rails using the same account as I installed ruby with, from an elevated command prompt. If that makes no difference, see if you have the same problem with Ruby v1.8.6 -- Posted via http://www.ruby-forum.com/. -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "Ruby on Rails: Talk" group.

The only thing I can think of is that something might be up with an environment variable somewhere. If you run "set >> c:\dump.txt" from the command line it will export the variables into that file.
