Win32-service: it's driving me crazy

Ruby
1

Has anyone successfully installed the win32-service module on Ruby
1.9.x?
I have been struggling a long time now and still using ruby 1.8.6
because I don’t face any problems with the old version.

Problem:
When I use ruby 1.9.1 and load the win32-service module it prompts an
error about a msv…dll

I already tried the ruby devkit from
“Development Kit · oneclick/rubyinstaller Wiki · GitHub” but
with no luck.

Are there any alternatives for creating a “windows service” in
combination with OCRA?

Thanks in advance!!

win32-service do not work under 1.9.x because it uses SEH, which is a
Microsoft-compiler extension to C to add exceptions that is not
supported by GCC.

Please report this to the gem author:

I believe this has already been fixed in the code but not released. Ask
the author to release an updated gem.
