I'm sorry if I offended you that wasn't my intention. Don't tell me I'm not thinking.
1. Do you know what gems are and how they work? It's like the GAC 2. It's easy to find out the location of a certain file from script and go from there (killing the need for the PATH variable) 3. exactly it's about a repeatable and scriptable process. so I don't think an installer will do the trick you know, but invoking an included script does. 4. I fully realise what a build server is, how you do automated deployments and how you provision many machines fast and quite frankly script the lot so I don't have to do it twice. So my advice stands Buy a book on batch scripting learn how ruby works. if you're provisioning a server the idea is that you're in control of where you download and extract the zip. so you know and it will probably be the same on another server you create and provision with your script (rocket science, I think not) killing the need for a preordained location which probably isn't where I want it. You don't even need to set the path and if you're running a script it's easy to do so in the script. --- Met vriendelijke groeten - Best regards - Salutations Ivan Porto Carrero Blog: http://flanders.co.nz Twitter: http://twitter.com/casualjim Author of IronRuby in Action (http://manning.com/carrero) On Mon, Jan 25, 2010 at 7:50 PM, Mohammad Azam <li...@ruby-forum.com> wrote: > The problem is that every person has their own IronRuby folder.
