I have just installed RoR using RailsInstaller. This is on a Windows XP system. I have created the default application and it loads via localhost I have also updated execjs to 1.2.9 and installed nodes as initially there was no javascript support. ( not sure why the windows script server did not work though) I am now working through the Getting Started with Rails, Blog application at http://guides.rubyonrails.org/getting_started.html#creating-the-blog-application I receive the following error when I try to access the application: ExecJS::RuntimeError in Home#index Showing C:/Sites/blog/app/views/layouts/application.html.erb where line #6 raised: ''C:\Program'' is not recognized as an internal or external command, operable program or batch file. (in C:/Sites/blog/app/assets/javascripts/home.js.coffee) Extracted source (around line #6): 3: <head> 4: <title>Blog</title> 5: <%= stylesheet_link_tag "application" %> 6: <%= javascript_include_tag "application" %> 7: <%= csrf_meta_tags %> 8: </head> 9: <body> The files application.js and home.js.coffee have no code, they are just the original templates. The line " ''C:\Program'' is not recognized as an internal or external command, operable program or batch file." suggest that the space in a path name is causing a problem. Any help or guidance would be welcomed. -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "Ruby on Rails: Talk" group.

OK folks
I may have resolved this. There is information on installing node.js
here:
http://cedricdussud.com/2011/11/installing-node-js-on-windows/
"Install Node
The simplest way is to download the Windows installer from the Node
site. Since they update quickly I won’t bother to put a direct link —
it’s every easy to find from the home page. Two things to keep in
mind:
Be SURE to get a verision of Node >= 0.6.3.
Use the .msi to install. Otherwise you won’t get npm
The installer simply copies Node.exe to a folder inside the Program
Files directory and updates your Path environment variable to point to
it.
If you want to put Node elsewhere you can move the folder from Program
Files, drop it where you like, and update the Path environment
variable.
Setting the Path variable is important, so here’s how to do it
manually: go to System Properties in the Control Panel, Advanced, and
hit the Environment Variables button. Scroll down under ‘System
variables’ to Path. Hit edit, and add your directory (say C:\bin
\node) to it. Be sure to separate it from the previous entry with a
semicolon."
The windows MSI installs to a directory below c:\Program Files and it
seems to be the space in the file path that causes the problem. I have
moved the nodejs directory to the root and updated the PATH variable
accordingly.
Good night

This is crime. For this to actually work on Windows (with RailsInstaller) I had to first install node with official msi installer. Then I copied node.exe to folder without whitespaces in its path (than added this path to PATH variable of course) and then I also needed to uninstall node from control panel / uninstall so that rails picked new path. -- 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 faced the same error message when I following http://guides.rubyonrails.org/getting_started.html#adding-a-second-model http://nodejs.org/ I installed the node from this website and restarted the windows PC. Now everything is working fine.
