just installed ruby 1.9.1 on windows. and then installed win32util’s  
net-ping and popen3.

but when i ran my script i get a popup that it is looking for  
msvcrt-ruby18.dll. Of course, it’s not there anymore since ruby 1.9 has  
msvcrt-ruby191.dll. copying the 191.dll to 181.dll result to a weirder  
error…

so my initial question is: does win32util packages support ruby1.9 ?  
(this dll thingy is really hell:))  
if yes, how do i resolve the error above?

kind regards -botp

Two gems win32-open3 and win32-api are looking for msvcrt-xxx.dll.  
As I know, the other gems are pure ruby.  
Currently win32utils binary gems don’t support ruby1.9 officially. For  
the moment, unofficial binary gems are available at  
[http://121.78.227.9/ruby-1.9.1p0-win32utils-gem/](http://121.78.227.9/ruby-1.9.1p0-win32utils-gem/)

Park H.

works like a charm.
