I'm having a similar problem, but I downloaded the source and installed the demo service with no problem. But when I try to start it I get this error:
VERSION: 0.6.1
C:/Ruby/lib/ruby/gems/1.8/gems/win32-service-0.6.1-x86-mswin32-60/lib/win32/service.rb:700:in `start': The service did not re
spond to the start or control request in a timely fashion. (Win32::Service::Error)

Hi Tim,
Do me a favor and download the win32-service source file and try installing and starting the DemoDaemon that you'll find under the 'examples' directory. Please let me know how that goes.
Thanks,
Dan

I am not quite sure what the problem is still. The error message is always the cyrptic and uninformative one I posted earlier.
In order to debug I created a skeleton service (posted below). This service does run but when you go to stop it you get an error message from windows. The service does stop however. If you restart you don't get the error message.
If you leave out the "exit!" the service takes forever to stop but gives no error messages. With the exit! it stops right away and gives the error.
The error from windows is "Could not stop the test_service service on local computer. Error 1067: The process terminated unexpectedly". The event log contains nothing useful.
Here is the code.
begin
logdir = File.expand_path("#{File.dirname(__FILE__)}/../log")
$stdout.reopen(File.open("#{logdir}/stdout.log", "w"))
$stderr.reopen(File.open("#{logdir}/sterr.log", "w"))
require 'win32/service'
require "win32/daemon"
include Win32
class Daemon
def service_stop
exit!
end
def service_main
while running? #state == RUNNING || state == PAUSED || state == IDLE
sleep 60
end #while running
end #service_main
end #class
Daemon.new().mainloop
rescue => e
require 'logger'
logger = Logger.new("#{logdir}/service_error.log" )
msg = e.message + e.backtrace.join("\n")
logger.fatal msg
end

Two things. First, define 'service_stop' and put "exit!" as the method (along with any other cleanup you want).
Second, wrap your service in a begin/rescue and write the error to a file. Be sure to reopen STDERR to the log file first.
HTH,
Dan

That got rid of that error. Now I get a cryptic
in `mainloop': Service_Main thread exited abnormally (Win32::Daemon::Error)
Error. I'll dig a little bit further. It may be in my class someplace.

I have a windows service written in ruby. I have updated my win32 service gem and it no longer works.
In the previous version my class inherited from Win32::Daemon. Apparently that's not there anymore.
I tried just naming my class Daemon like you have in the example but that doesn't work either. It gives me a undefined method `mainloop' for #<Daemon:0x2bece98>
What am I doing wrong?
