Subject: win32 service

Hello,

I'm trying to add a application as a service in Windows XP Pro

I'm using the following code grabbed from KirbyBase:

svc = Service.new("localhost")
    svc.create_service do |s|
        s.service_name = "TBWin32ReportingAgt"
        s.binary_path_name = 'C:\\TBWin32\\TB Reporting
Agent\\TBWin32ReportingAgt.exe'
        s.display_name = "TBWin32 Reporting Agt"

        # This is required for now - bug in win32-service
        s.dependencies = []
   end
    svc.close
    puts "TBWin32 Server service installed"

When I run this I get the following:

c:/ruby/lib/ruby/gems/1.8/gems/win32-service-0.6.1-x86-mswin32-60/lib/win32/serv
ice.rb:277:in `initialize': no options provided (ArgumentError)
        from s.rb:6:in `new'
        from s.rb:6
