What path for wkhtmltoimage for Windows and local server?

Question

I am running rails on a local server on windows. I installed wkhtmltoimage to C:/Sites/wkhtmltoimage

Now I have to tell IMGKit where to find it, so I added a file initializers/imgkit.rb:

IMGKit.configure do |config|
  config.wkhtmltoimage = 'C:/Sites/wkhtmltoimage'
end

But When I try to use IMGKit, rails tells me:

No wkhtmltoimage executable found at /usr/local/bin/wkhtmltoimage

But I set up a new path for it ?

I tried to require this file to be sure it is loaded

require 'config/initializers/imgkit.rb'

But then I get told: cannot load such file -- config/initializers/imgkit.rb

What do I have to do now ? Please help.

Unfortunately not, I am sorry. Concerning people changed servers later .. maybe it worked then. — user1697061, Jan 21 '13 at 14:34

You have to put full path with .exe like this:

config.wkhtmltoimage = 'C:/Sites/wkhtmltoimage/bin/wkhtmltoimage.exe'

and add this path: 'C:/Sites/wkhtmltoimage/bin/' to PATH in your environmental variables.

Then you should see the wkhtmltoimage globally.
