Is nmake in your path? If so, from your comments, it appears that *some* of your gem installs ARE compiling gems with whatever Platform SDK you have installed (looks like its Server 2003).
Luis can explain far better than I, but gems compiled with VC 8 are NOT compatible with the One Click installer (which is compiled with VC 6). Sure, they *might* run, but they'll lead to trouble. If you want to continue down this path, then the quickest way to get rid of the error messages you get is to install the VC 8 Runtime Redistributable. Don't count on a stable system, though. I feel your pain here. I develop mostly on Vista notebook. I keep both the OCI *and* Cygwin's Ruby around. They both have their strengths and weaknesses, but until Ruby can be made to compile and function reliably with VC 8, I've found this to be the most stable mix (short of buying a Mac or installing Linux). == Will Green Wes Gamble wrote: > Some more information: > > (* using mongrel_rails start to startup *) > > Mongrel v. 0.3.13.3: No error dialog on startup > Mongrel v. 1.0 - 1.1: Error dialog, click OK, mongrel proceeds > Mongrel v >= 1.1.1: Error dialog, click OK, error dialog reappears, no > further progress can be made. > > All I have to do is modify Mongrel versions to get these behaviors. > > Does anyone know if MSVCR80.DLL is a standard part of the Microsoft > Platform SDK for Windows Server 2003 R2 distribution?
