Orion, what can't you accomplish with the experimental hive which you think you can do by installing a non-MSI'd IronRuby tools?
The non-MSI installation is not supported as we use the GAC for resolving dependencies of "IronStudio" components between Ruby and Python. A non-MSI installation using VSIX has no dependency management, so things could break easily. ~Jimmy On May 23, 2011, at 4:28 PM, Orion Edwards <ori...@gallagher.co.nz> wrote: > Re-post of this email as it accidentally was sent as a reply to someone > else's...
