Hi,
I’m diving into Ruby and trying out RUDL. I used the Ruby173-6.exe ‘one
click install’ for windows to set up Ruby. I then installed RUDL, and tried
the samples. They failed with an error of missing mswin32-ruby17.dll. My
Ruby173-6 distro doesn’t have that dll, it has msvcrt-ruby17.dll instead. I
removed the 173-6 install and tried the Ruby172-1 install and that one
contained the mswin32-ruby17.dll that RUDL needs. My question why the name
change in the dll, I didn’t see it mentioned the release notes?

I don’t know the reason for the dll name change but recently in
[ruby-talk:57001] Martin Stannard gave a URL that had many versions
of RUDL built for the various dlls…

Hope this helps,

Hello pedro,
I had exactly the same problem except that I did not
get the ‘missing mswin32-ruby17.dll’ message on WinMe.
I found the missing dll problem using the dependency
walker application suggested by Bill. I am not playing
with RUDL for now. I do not want to install a lower
version of Ruby just to get RUDL to work, am afraid
other libraries I am using with Ruby may not work. But
I am curious, did RUDL work with the lower version of
Ruby install that has the correct dll?
TIA
Ramesh

Hi Ramesh,
Yes, the RUDL samples worked when I installed the one-click Ruby172-1.exe
package.
