acts_as_ferret issue on windows

I installed ferret-0.11.5-x86-mswin32 successfully but I'm having no luck with either the acts_as_ferret gem or the plugin.

The plugin installs clean but when I try to start the server I get the following:

D:\test>ruby script\ferret_server --debug start fork() function is unimplemented on this machine D:/test/vendor/plugins/acts_as_ferret/lib/unix_daemon.rb:41:in `fork' D:/test/vendor/plugins/acts_as_ferret/lib/unix_daemon.rb:41:in `safefork' D:/test/vendor/plugins/acts_as_ferret/lib/unix_daemon.rb:11:in `platform_daemon'
