Here is the main problem. You need to pass 0 (or nil) for reserved. If you
had checked the return code from the first function call you would see it
was 87 (which is ERROR_INVALID_PARAMETER.)

After changing reserved to 0, I got 0 back for the response (success), but
the result in buffer was unreadable (I assume it is Unicode, but AFAIK
there is no Ruby Unicode library.)

But making the change I suggested above should at least start you moving
forward.
