Using mongrel_rails: Can't install Redmine as win2003 service

Hello everyone.

After stugging 3+ hours installing redmine I got success but still can't install redmine as service (windows 2003).

So here is my problem. I successfully installed redmine and mapped it to mysql, created database and initialized it with default values. Last thing I'm trying to do is to install it as service on windows 2003, and for this I'm running in cmd mode this instruction:

mongrel_rails service::install -N Redmine -c [your redmine folder] -p [portno] -e production

and I get this error: C:/ruby/lib/ruby/gems/1.8/gems/win32-service-0.7.0-x86-mswin32-60/lib/ win32/service.rb:282:in `initialize': no options provided (ArgumentError)

When I try without params: mongrel_rails service::install ... it just says that name (-N) is obligatory.

But when I try with name only (-N), I get the same error.

Any help appreciated.

Thanks, Anton

And here is detailed output:

I think I am seeing the same issue. See also versions of various gems. This used to work with the 0.3.4 version of the mongrel_service gem. Is there a fix or update for this. I want to avoid hacking line 115 / ruby/lib/ruby/gems/1.8/gems/mongrel_service-0.1/lib/mongrel_service/ init.rb if possible...

Thanks

FWIW: I just discovered that if I uninstall the 0.7.0 version of the win232-service gem

and install this one instead:

   gem install -v=0.5.2 win32-service

I can now install mongrel services w/o error.
