The problem is that gem can only find win32-api v 1.2.0 $ gem install win32-api Building native extensions. This could take a while… Successfully installed win32-api-1.2.0 1 gem installed Installing ri documentation for win32-api-1.2.0… Installing RDoc documentation for win32-api-1.2.0… Sooo… where/how do I get 1.2.1? ---

> Installing RDoc documentation for win32-api-1.2.0… > > Sooo… where/how do I get 1.2.1? I got the same problem. Appears that installing it via: [http://rubyforge.org/frs/?group\_id=85&release\_id=30021](http://rubyforge.org/frs/?group_id=85&release_id=30021) [download the .gem file, install it] is currently the only way to get \> 1.2.0 [and install win32-process, etc.] Thanks! -=r
