I made a pretty simple program for adding to and organizing an array of book authors/titles. I only have one require at the top which is a module I created. The code is all just standard ruby with no gems or anything implemented.

require_relative 'pairs2d'

I used ocra to turn it into an executable, and the .exe worked fine on my windows 7 computer (which has Ruby installed). When I put the .exe on another computer and ran it, I received a fatal error. The other computer is Windows XP, and it does not have Ruby installed.

This was the build after entering > ocra loonalibrary.rb

Including 53 encoding support files (3349504 bytes, use --no-enc to exclude)

The error from console when I ran this on the Windows XP computer without Ruby installed:

FATAL ERROR: Failed to create process (C:\DOCUME~1\mike\LOCALS~1\Temp\ocr6CF.tmp\bin\ruby.exe): 193

Is ocra sensitive to windows version or is this some other problem? If anyone knows a fix to this problem, I would really appreciate some help.

I had same problem. Build application with Ruby-x64. When I build application with ruby-x32, problem was gone. I think OCRA take current Ruby and include to aplication package. Windows XP dosen't support x64 app.
