rufus-scheduler -> not a valid cronline on Windows

I have simple rufus code that works on GNU/Linux but not on Windows.

I am using the same version of rufus. Just updated Ruby on Windows to ruby 2.2.3p173 (2015-08-18 revision 51636) [i386-mingw32] but it did not help.

Question: Any idea if .cron supposed to work on Windows?

require 'rubygems'
require 'rufus/scheduler'

scheduler = Rufus::Scheduler.new


scheduler.cron '0 22 * * 1-5' do
  # every day of the week at 22:00 (10pm)
  puts 'activate security system'
end

scheduler.every '5m' do
  puts 'check blood pressure'
end

error received
