Hi If you''ve installed the latest wxRuby 1.9.6 on Windows and are having trouble running applications, please try the following steps: 1) Ensure that you have msvcr80.dll and msvcp80.dll available on your system. If you haven''t got them, they can be downloaded for free from http://www.dll-files.com/ and placed in your ruby/bin directory. 2) Copy a file called ''lib/ruby/gems/1.8/gems/wxruby-1.9.6-x86-mswin32-60/wxruby.so.manifest'' to your ruby/bin directory, and there, rename it ''ruby.exe.manifest'' On XP this will also ensure you get the nice XP-style widgets. I''ll try and put out a release soon that automates these steps. alex

Also, if you use rubyw.exe, you need to repeat step 2, only naming it rubyw.exe.manifest instead of ruby.exe.manifest On Fri, May 2, 2008 at 1:31 PM, Mario Steele <mario at ruby-im.net> wrote:> Double checked and proven to work. > > > On Fri, May 2, 2008 at 4:21 AM, Alex Fenton <alex at pressure.to> wrote: > > > Hi > > > > If you''ve installed the latest wxRuby 1.9.6 on Windows and are having > > trouble running applications, please try the following steps: > > > > 1) Ensure that you have msvcr80.dll and msvcp80.dll available on your > > system.

correct path to ''wxruby.so.manifest'' is: ''lib/ruby/gems/1.8/gems/wxruby-1.9.6-x86-mswin32-60/lib/wxruby.so.manifest'' not: ''lib/ruby/gems/1.8/gems/wxruby-1.9.6-x86-mswin32-60/wxruby.so.manifest'' -- Posted via http://www.ruby-forum.com/.
