Steven, Thanks, actually I managed to get the basic setup working by somewhat following that Windows article. I skipped the ferret step and also didn't install Sphinx yet, renamed application.rb to application_controller.rb and made the other configuration changes as mentioned in readme, hope this helps someone else trying to get it working on same platform / version. There are a couple other concerns though. Another thread I read on getting it to work on Rails 2.3.4 raised a concern that some of the gems in the vendor folder are outdated and it's best to use their latest versions, is it a good idea to upgrade to the latest versions? Also the Windows article said that a specific version of ImageMagick is needed, I installed the latest version and it didn't seem to have broken anything but I haven't tested any image related feature, so I might have a problem later on.
