When I try a newly created rails 1.2.6 application to mine surprise I  
got the following error:

Yep, I have the same error; I’d be interested in finding out the  
answer as well.

The error was not present on my ubuntu 7.10 server just on my XP.

You need to rename your latest installed mongrel 1.1.1 directory to be  
c:/ruby/lib/ruby/gems/1.8/gems/mongrel\_service-0.3.3-x86-mswin32-60  
because it could not find the actual installed mongrel directory. It  
should work after your installed directory is renamed.

I hope this would help you getting mongrel running.

This solved it for me:

gem install mongrel\_service -v0.3.3 --include-dependencies
