Hi guys

Steps:

2. Got “msvcrt-ruby18.dll is missing" during running Cucumber
The complete Ruby output are following:

I search for a way to resolve this issue and find following:
1. install DevKit - I got the latest DevKit-tdm-32-4.5.1-20101214-1400-
sfx and install it successfully
2. gem uninstall json
3 gem install json --platform=ruby

But it doesn't resolve error pop-up.

Please, help.

Regards, Vadim.

Please uninstall win32-api-1.4.7 gem and install with:

gem install win32-api --platform=ruby

JSON was the common gem having this issue, seems there are others.

Please report to the gem author about generating a fat-binary for both
1.8 and 1.9.
