I installed ruby and tried to run a .rb file
or even ruby.exe directly then an error generated directly. it says:

"Entry point is not found. Unable to find gmtime_s_ in msvcrt.dll library"

Please tell me how to solve this problem
because I liked Ruby and I intended to use it.
I have Windows XP. Is this a compitable issue. and it would require higher version of Windows?
Tell me what can I do

If you've used the RubyInstaller, this thread might provide an answer: https://github.com/oneclick/rubyinstaller/issues/271

TL;DR Windows XP isn't supported anymore.

HTH,
