{{Quickfixn}} Custom Messages

[Roger Hunter]

I am trying to generate a custom message as follows:

           Message m = new Message();
            m.Header.SetField(new BeginString("FIX.4.4"));
            m.SetField(new StringField(35, "U1"));
            m.SetField(new StringField(1, account));
            m.SetField(new StringField(20011,
_accountDetailsReqID.ToString()));
            _accountDetailsReqID++;
            SetTradeHeader(m.Header);

            QuickFix.Session.SendToTarget(m);

The message m, just before sending, is:

message =
{8=FIX.4.4|
9=61|
49=QM2013xxxx-T|
56=CITIFX
|57=FXSpot
|1=88103260|
35=U1
|20011=1
|10=079
}

The attempt to send the message results in an exception in
SendRaw->message.Header.GetField(Fields.Tags.MsgType)

Inside GetField, I see that _fields is incorrect. In particular, 35 is not
present. In fact, the list of _fields is

8, 9, 49, 56, 57

Why is _fields incorrect here?

I then spent half a day trying to install ruby and nokogiri. I cannot get
past the error "libxml2 not present". There is no helpful information on
the web that I can find, and the Nokogiri site says that installing on
windows is so difficult,
they have provided the install so that "gem install nokogiri"  "just
works". My installation passed the DevKit check with jason.

I seem to be blocked at every step here.
