similar to: Vista anyone?

Hi, I added the Windows::WSA module to windows-pr recently (it''s in the latest git repo). However, I can''t seem to make WSAStartup work. I tried the following bit of code, only to get "The Windows Sockets version requested is not supported" on my Vista box. Is it really not supported on Vista? The docs say Win2k or later. Or is there another issue? require

Hi all, I created a "pure" branch on github that uses the code Heesob posted a while back: http://rubyforge.org/pipermail/win32utils-devel/2008-November/001274.html However, I couldn''t make it work on my Vista laptop. c:\Users\djberge\Repositories\win32-service\examples>ruby demo_daemon_ctl.rb start VERSION: 0.8.0

Hi all, One of the net-ping users reported that the Net::Ping::External library was returning false positives on Vista. Basically, it does a ''ping -n1 host'' and checks for certain error strings. The problem is that the error strings it checks for are in English. The user in question is using a cmd.exe that''s entirely in Swedish (I think). Is there any way I can

Hi all, How''s this look? I based it on http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/aa366789(VS.85).aspx. I''m undecided as to when I should raise an error versus when I should just let it fall through, but this is how it is for now. You''ll need the latest windows-pr from CVS, btw. Regards, Dan PS - Where should I put it? In Windows::File directly? In a separate helper

Hi, I''ve got a Windows XP VM on my OS X box. Whenever I call File.exists?("A:") on it I get a system error pop-up box from Windows. The title of the window is "Windows - No Disk" and the error is "Exception Processing Message" followed by some numeric codes. It''s not a huge deal - eventually control returns to the program and it returns false

Hi, Windows Vista Home Premium ruby 1.9.2dev (2009-07-18 trunk 24186) [i386-mswin32_90] I noticed there was an ordinal bug in win32-security and Ruby 1.9.x. I fixed those easily enough, but now we''re left with this: 1) Error: test_string_to_sid(TC_Win32_Security_Sid): ArgumentError: invalid byte sequence in US-ASCII

Hi all, As fate would have it I''m giving away my old desktop to a friend who has no computer. The upside is that means I have room to setup my old-old desktop, which happens to have Windows 2000 on it. It''s a dual Pentium-II 400 with 512mb of RAM. I installed the Ruby 1.8.6 one-click on it, and it already had VC++ 6 on it. Fairly zippy, actually. What I would like to do is

Hi all, Windows Vista Home Premium VC++ 9 According to MSDN, the if_indextoname() function should be included on Vista: http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/bb408408%28VS.85%29.aspx However, I can''t get mkmf to see it. I tried all of these: require ''mkmf'' if have_header(''netioapi.h'') # yes have_func(''if_indextoname'',

Hi all, With the latest 1.8.6 release out today, I was wondering - what would you all think of a Windows-only fork of Ruby? I mean Perl has ActiveState, right? It ships with a slightly different interpreter and different libraries, so why not Ruby? Here''s what I''m thinking: * Win2k or later. No 95/98/ME support. No cygwin/mingw, either. * Assume VC++ 8. Use whatever

Hi, I''ve been using FFI with a Ruby 1.9.3 built with MSVC++ and it''s been working well. One thing I''ve run into though is this: ffi_lib :msvcrt But that''s not the runtime I want. But I don''t want to hard code the runtime name either. I realize I could parse it out of RbConfig, but I was hoping for something nicer. Is there a way we could create an

Hi all, I''m preparing win32-service for an 0.5.1 release. I''ve made a couple minor changes and altered the test suite a bit. It passes on my box here, except that about half the time I get this error: 1) Error: test_services(TC_Win32Service): Win32::ServiceError: OpenService() call failed: The handle is invalid. test/tc_service.rb:227:in `services''

Hi, This library has needed some work for a while, so I''m finally getting around to it. I''ve made some changes and updates in CVS, so grab the latest source to test the issue below. The first issue I''d like to tackle is why the TaskScheduler#account_information (GetAccountInformation) method fails if there''s no user associated with a given task. The docs
