From: ethan_j_brown@... Date: 2016-08-30T17:10:56+00:00 Subject: [ruby-core:77103] [Ruby trunk Bug#12371] Windows Nano Server WIN32OLE compatibility Issue #12371 has been updated by Ethan Brown. Masaki - have you had a chance to look at this? The Nano Server RTM is due out soon, and it will fail when `OleInitialize` is called. At that point, the Ruby `WIN32OLE` support will cease to work on Nano. Anything that can be done to address that prior to it failing in the wild would be great. Thanks! ---------------------------------------- Bug #12371: Windows Nano Server WIN32OLE compatibility https://bugs.ruby-lang.org/issues/12371#change-60324 * Author: Alessandro Pilotti * Status: Assigned * Priority: Normal * Assignee: Masaki Suketa * ruby -v: * Backport: 2.1: UNKNOWN, 2.2: UNKNOWN, 2.3: UNKNOWN ---------------------------------------- The `OleInitialize()` call used in WIN32OLE is not supported on Nano Server due to the fact that the STA COM model is not available: https://github.com/ruby/ruby/blob/32674b167bddc0d737c38f84722986b0f228b44b/ext/win32ole/win32ole.c#L820 As an alternative, `CoInitializeEx(NULL, COINIT_MULTITHREADED)` can be called when running on Nano Server, thus ensuring both compatibility with the preexisting behaviour and support for Nano Server. -- https://bugs.ruby-lang.org/ Unsubscribe:
