Hello,
I would like to run msc command, but it seem impossible with MRI Ruby ( 2.3.3).
d:\>diskmgmt.msc # ok
d:\>ruby -e "spawn('diskmgmt.msc')" # error : e:1:in `spawn': No such file or directory - diskmgmt.msc
d:\>ruby -e "pid=Process.spawn('ruby -v'); Process.wait(pid) " # ok
ruby 2.3.3p222 (2016-11-21 revision 56859) [i386-mingw32]
d:\>ruby -e "pid=Process.spawn('C:/WINDOWS/system32/mmc.exe'); Process.wait(pid) " "nok
-e:1:in `spawn': Invalid argument - C:/WINDOWS/system32/mmc.exe (Errno::EINVAL)
It is not only mmc.exe which not work, it seem to be all commands in /windows/system32
d:\>C:/windows/system32/msconfig.exe # ok
d:>ruby -e "pid=Process.spawn('C:/windows/system32/msconfig.exe'); Process.wait(pid) "
-e:1:in `spawn': No such file or directory - C:/windows/system32/msconfig.exe (Errno::ENOENT)
from -e:1:in `<main>'
