Win32/process problem

Ruby
1

I have an application that consists of serveral independent parts.

I want to use the Windows Process API to spawn the different processes.

e.g.

require ‘rubygems’
require ‘win32/process’

x = Process.create(:app_name => “rubyw learnbase_server.rb”)

puts x.process_id

puts a process id, but i get the error: [BUG] Segmentation fault.

Not even x = Process.create(:app_name => “notepad”) works. It starts
notepad, but i get the same error.

Can you provide more information?

What is the OS, Ruby version and win32-process version?

What result of “p x” ?
x = Process.create(:app_name => “notepad”)
p x

Thanks,

Dan

I uninstalled the ruby win32 gem and reinstalled it.

Works now, thanks
