Subject: registry.rb problem?

I just found out about registry.rb in the Win32 distribution of Ruby (it's 
for accessing the Windows registry).

However, when I tried the sample script:



require 'win32/registry.rb'

 Win32::Registry::HKEY_CURRENT_USER.open('SOFTWARE\foo') do |reg|

    value = reg['foo']                               # read a value

    value = reg['foo', Win32::Registry::REG_SZ]      # read a value with
type

    type, value = reg.read('foo')                    # read a value

    #reg['foo'] = 'bar'                               # write a value

    #reg['foo', Win32::Registry::REG_SZ] = 'bar'      # write a value
with type

    #reg.write('foo', Win32::Registry::REG_SZ, 'bar') # write a value



    reg.each_value { |name, type, data|

      puts "name is: #{name}, type is: #{type}, data is: #{data}"

    }        # Enumerate values


end



I got:

c:/programs/ruby/lib/ruby/1.8/win32/registry.rb:340:in `initialize':
uninitializ

ed constant Win32::Registry::Error::Errno (NameError)

        from c:/programs/ruby/lib/ruby/1.8/win32/registry.rb:340:in

`open'

        from c:/programs/ruby/lib/ruby/1.8/win32/registry.rb:605:in

        from registry.rb:2





Any ideas?
