Hi all,

I have successfully installed mongrel, mongrel\_service, win-32 service  
and have also successfully installed the service on my computer and is  
starting successfully.

The major problem am having now is that, my application uses a bundle of  
gems so under normal circumstances mongrel\_rails start will start with  
bundle exec. even though the service starts, mongrels does not start  
because am unable it has to start with bundle exec.

my question, how can I include bundle exec in the command that creates  
the windows service so that it will start mongrels with bundle?

is there any other way, perhaps including bundle exec in boot.rb or  
preinitializer.rb so that it will loaded automatically? am using rails  
2.3.

The mongrel log is below

requires mongrel 1.2.0.pre2. Using bundle exec may solve this.
