You could do that, but is your eventual goal to actually deploy the app? If so I'd suggest using IronRuby.Rack (http://github.com/ironruby/ironruby/tree/master/Merlin/Main/Hosts/IronRuby.Rack) which lets you run Rails on ASP.NET webservers (IIS, for example). It requires that you have a web.config in your application, so you could put settings in there.

One option is to copy ir.exe to the root directory of your app and add ir.exe.config with appSettings that you need. Don't forget to change Ruby library paths in that ir.exe.config file. You'll also need to copy the rest of the assemblies from IronRuby bin directory to the same directory as ir.exe (or some subdirectory that you specify in <probing> element of ir.exe.config, see http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/823z9h8w(VS.80).aspx) or to the GAC (using gacutil.exe: http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/ex0ss12c(VS.80).aspx). 2) Create an AppDomain that is set up to use the right config file: http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/system.appdomainsetup.configurationfile(v=VS.100).aspx. Then launch the entire rails application (script/server) in that AppDomain.

The .NET code really really wants a couple of settings in <appSettings> When i run via script/server though the app.config file is ir.exe.config (AppDomain.Current.SetupInformation.ConfigurationFile)... is there a way to override what config file is loaded? Thanks
