Yes, installing Gems requires you to run as Administrator, just like installing a gem on MacOS/Linux requires you do sudo. However, we will fall back to installing gems to the user-dir. I just think there needs to be better docs about this.

We don't preinstall any gems with IronRuby. So what you're asking is an option so we remove the "i" from "iri.bat", "irdoc.bat", and "igem.bat" ? Keep in mind the actual ruby files are still "ri", "rdoc", and "gem". For the problem with "ir script/console", rails should fix this (as in, JRuby has the same problem as they ship with jirb). Also, I think there's a way to tell RubyGems to prefix the bat files it generates, so installing rails would install irails.bat, to keep things consistent. _______________________________________________ Ironruby-core mailing list Ironruby-core@rubyforge.org<mailto:Ironruby-core@rubyforge.org> http://rubyforge.org/mailman/listinfo/ironruby-core -- "The explanation requiring the fewest assumptions is most likely to be correct." - Occam's Razor http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Occam's_Razor
