If you did, try installing Ruby For Apache http://rubyforge.org/projects/rubyforapache/ because sometimes you need
to do that a few times. (don’t know why, but once it’s working, it does
stay that way.
If there’s any way I can be of assistance, let me know!
You should try running Ruby for IIS (dont have link, but its on the
wiki).
I got that error as well when I tried to install Ruby for Apache, but
didn’t have apache installed. I may have seen on my XP laptop too, but
can’t remember.
ok, i’ve gone through this, and now i’m running the Ruby for IIS setup.
I get an error
"Error opening file for writing:
c:\windows\system32\msvcp71.dll"
what is this file and why does it need to be written to?
(this also happenned when I ran the Ruby for Apache setup).
Stephen,
I think that RubyForApache needs to copy a version of “msvcp71.dll” to
your
system32 folder. It needs it to recompile fastcgi or something else.
The problem (at least on Windows XP, on Win200 I didn’t had this
problem) is
that you already have a copy of “msvcp71.dll” in your system32 folder.
What I did was to rename my original copy to “msvcp71_original.dll” or
something
, let the RubyFoApache installer do it’s thing and then rename the new
one to
“msvcp71_rubyforapache.dll” and put back my original.
I think this dll is the c++ compiler from VisualStudio. Or is needed by
the
compiler … whatever.
