Yes, unfortunately(?), I cannot reproduce the crash here, either, despite throwing the largest image file I had into the upload field. Though, what might hep us is if you grab Visual Studio C++ Express[1] (it's free, but requires registration after 30 days). This *should* includes a debugger which able to hook into a crashed Ruby process (I can't test that assumption since I have a Visual Studio Pro installation and they can't quite exist side-by-side, alas). That way, you can at least get a stack trace for us, in case this happens again with your actual Rails app. [1] http://www.microsoft.com/express/Downloads/ Alternatively, you can try to install the gems you need via plain old RubyGems instead of Bundler, since Bundler doesn't appear to pick up the DevKit and its compiler package. -- Phillip Gawlowski Though the folk I have met, (Ah, how soon!) they forget When I've moved on to some other place, There may be one or two, When I've played and passed through, Who'll remember my song or my face.
