[Shashank Date]

The win32utils team is proud to announce a new release of the one-click
installer for all win32utils binary modules. Enjoy !

=================================================================================
== Description

One-click installer for win32utils (version 0.0.3)

This installer will install win32utils modules which are compatible
with the
latest one-click installer for Ruby on the Windows platform.

It is packaged using NSIS 2.05 and MS Visual Studio .NET and comes
with the
following modules:

* changejournal: A class for monitoring events related to files &
directories
* changenotify: Another class for monitoring events related to
files & directories
* clipboard: A Ruby package for interacting with the Win32
clipboard
* dir: A series of extra constants for the Dir class that
define special folders on Win32 systems
* etc: A module that provides Etc functions for the Win32
platform
* event: An interface to Win32 Event objects (requires the
ipc module)
* eventlog: A Ruby interface to the Win32 Event Log
* file: An extended File class for the Win32 platform
* ipc: A base class for Win32 synchronization objects
* mmap: An interface to the Win32 Memory Mapped File
* mutex: An interface to Win32 Mutex objects
* open3: An open3 library for Win32
* pipe: An interface to Named pipes on Win32
* process: fork, wait and kill for Win32
* sapi: An interface to the Microsoft Speech API, 5.1
* semaphore: An interface for semaphores on the Win32 platform
* service: An interface for Win32 Services
* shortcut: An interface for creating and modifying Windows
shortcuts
* sound: An interface for playing with sound on Win32 systems
* taskscheduler: A taskscheduler implementation for Win32

== Pre-install Recommendation

Before installing these modules, you may want to stop all Ruby
services and
then uninstall any old modules by executing the uninstall.exe
typically
found under:

C:\ruby\lib\ruby\site_ruby\1.8\i386-msvcrt\win32

That is assuming that you had installed the old modules using the
one-click
installer for win32utils ;-)

== Where to find it

RAA: http://raa.ruby-lang.org/project/win32utils-inst/
RubyForge: http://rubyforge.org/frs/?group_id=85

== Test Platforms

We have tested the installer and all the modules under Win XP (Home),
Win XP (Pro), and Win 2K Pro.

== Known Bugs

select them)
under C:\RUBY\DOC and C:\RUBY\SAMPLES folders respectively,
regardless of
where the library modules are installed.

I'm sure I'm doing somethign wrong, but after having installed this I get:

C:\projects\ebill\aps\dist\tmp>ruby -e 'require "win32/sound"'

c:/ruby/lib/ruby/site_ruby/1.8/i386-msvcrt/win32/sound.so: 126: The
specified module could not be found. -

Hi Michael,

I'm sure I'm doing somethign wrong, but after having installed this I get:

C:\projects\ebill\aps\dist\tmp>ruby -e 'require "win32/sound"'

c:/ruby/lib/ruby/site_ruby/1.8/i386-msvcrt/win32/sound.so: 126: The
specified module could not be found. -
c:/ruby/lib/ruby/site_ruby/1.8/i386-msvcrt/win32/sound.so (LoadError)
from c:/ruby/lib/ruby/site_ruby/1.8/rubygems/loadpath_manager.rb:5:in `require'
from -e:1

Can you tell me the details of your system: OS, Ruby Version etc.
Better still what does this do:

C:\ruby>ruby -r rbconfig -e "include Config;
Dir.chdir(CONFIG['sitedir']+'/1.8/i386-msvcrt/win32'){puts Dir['*.*']}"


FWIW, on my Win XP(Home) I get:
