Change

  if process.Name.include? "QTPro.exe" then

to

  if process.Name.downcase.include? "qtpro.exe" then

and change

  process.Pid

to

  process.ProcessId

FYI, This code will output a list of properties for a given process, and 
their values:

  for property in process.Properties_ do
    puts property.Name + ': ' + property.Value.to_s
  end

Hope that helps.
