Subject: windows commands and error handling

I am attempting to handle windows native command errors within a Ruby script on
windows xp. Commands in backticks like `net use ...` do not allow for this. I
tried open3, but it is unsupported on windows because of the lack of fork.
system() does not do anything either. How do others handle this on windows? I
only want to use the core Ruby library, not win32 utils.

begin
  `windows command`
rescue SomeException => e
  do this to handle this exception...
rescue SomeOtherException =>
  do this for the other exception...
end

Thank you,
Brad
