Shashank Date

The win32utils team is proud to announce a new release of the one-click
installer for all win32utils binary modules. Enjoy !

=================================================================================
== Description

One-click installer for win32utils (version 0.0.3)

This installer will install win32utils modules which are compatible
with the
latest one-click installer for Ruby on the Windows platform.

It is packaged using NSIS 2.05 and MS Visual Studio .NET and comes
with the
following modules:

* changejournal: A class for monitoring events related to files &
directories
* changenotify: Another class for monitoring events related to
files & directories
* clipboard: A Ruby package for interacting with the Win32
clipboard
* dir: A series of extra constants for the Dir class that
define special folders on Win32 systems
* etc: A module that provides Etc functions for the Win32
platform
* event: An interface to Win32 Event objects (requires the
ipc module)
* eventlog: A Ruby interface to the Win32 Event Log
* file: An extended File class for the Win32 platform
* ipc: A base class for Win32 synchronization objects
* mmap: An interface to the Win32 Memory Mapped File
* mutex: An interface to Win32 Mutex objects
* open3: An open3 library for Win32
* pipe: An interface to Named pipes on Win32
* process: fork, wait and kill for Win32
* sapi: An interface to the Microsoft Speech API, 5.1
* semaphore: An interface for semaphores on the Win32 platform
* service: An interface for Win32 Services
* shortcut: An interface for creating and modifying Windows
shortcuts
* sound: An interface for playing with sound on Win32 systems
* taskscheduler: A taskscheduler implementation for Win32

== Pre-install Recommendation

Before installing these modules, you may want to stop all Ruby
services and
then uninstall any old modules by executing the uninstall.exe
typically
found under:

C:\ruby\lib\ruby\site_ruby\1.8\i386-msvcrt\win32

That is assuming that you had installed the old modules using the
one-click
installer for win32utils ;-)

== Where to find it

RAA: http://raa.ruby-lang.org/project/win32u...
RubyForge: http://rubyforge.org/frs/?g...

== Test Platforms

We have tested the installer and all the modules under Win XP (Home),
Win XP (Pro), and Win 2K Pro.

== Warranty

implied warranties, including, without limitation, the implied
warranties of merchantability and fitness for a particular purpose.

== Known Bugs

It will always install the DOC and the SAMPLE modules (if you
select them)
under C:\RUBY\DOC and C:\RUBY\SAMPLES folders respectively,
regardless of
where the library modules are installed.

Please log any other bug reports on the RubyForge project page at:

I'm sure I'm doing somethign wrong, but after having installed this I get:

C:\projects\ebill\aps\dist\tmp>ruby -e 'require "win32/sound"'

c:/ruby/lib/ruby/site_ruby/1.8/i386-msvcrt/win32/sound.so: 126: The
specified module could not be found. -
c:/ruby/lib/ruby/site_ruby/1.8/i386-msvcrt/win32/sound.so (LoadError)
from c:/ruby/lib/ruby/site_ruby/1.8/rubygems/loadpath_manager.rb:5:in `require'
from -e:1


?

Can you tell me the details of your system: OS, Ruby Version etc.
Better still what does this do:

C:\ruby>ruby -r rbconfig -e "include Config;
Dir.chdir(CONFIG['sitedir']+'/1.8/i386-msvcrt/win32'){puts Dir['*.*']}"


FWIW, on my Win XP(Home) I get:
---------------------------------------
Microsoft Windows XP [Version 5.1.2600]

C:\>ruby -ve 'require "win32/sound"'
ruby 1.8.2 (2004-12-25) [i386-mswin32]

Hi all,

We've just released an updated version (0.0.4) of the Win32 Utils
installer, now on the RAA. This should fix the issues some folks were
having with DLL errors.

It is otherwise identical to 0.0.3.

Sorry for any inconvenience.

Regards,

The Win32 Utils Team
