Hello Markus, Services run without privileges for certain things, like create objects and such. Since you're executing from the command line and work, means that your user has access to these OLE objects. There are two options: 1) Configure the service to run under the same user account (that can be done from the services management interface) 2) Determine the issue using psexec. Try to lower the privileges of the prompt and execute the exact same command line. The tools you need are psexec, as I mentioned here: http://rubyforge.org/pipermail/mongrel-users/2007-February/003006.html See that thread for details. Please also include in your reply information about your OS (32bits or 64bits), versions of Ruby and the gems installed too. There is a known issue with 64bits Windows that was solved in latest gem release, just in case.
