I do agree with the basic point that installers should never under any circumstances ask a human being anything, though. Better to just fail if the default install isn't sufficient.
In particular, it's weird to me that gem install mongrel comes up with: C:\radw\rv>gem install mongrel Attempting local installation of 'mongrel' Local gem file not found: mongrel*.gem Attempting remote installation of 'mongrel' Updating Gem source index for: http://gems.rubyforge.org Select which gem to install for your platform (i386-mswin32) 1. mongrel 0.3.12.4 (ruby) 2. mongrel 0.3.12.4 (mswin32) 3. mongrel 0.3.12.3 (mswin32) 4. mongrel 0.3.12.3 (ruby) 5. mongrel 0.3.12.2 (ruby) 6. mongrel 0.3.12.2 (mswin32) 7. mongrel 0.3.12.1 (mswin32) 8. mongrel 0.3.12.1 (ruby) 9. mongrel 0.3.12 (mswin32) 10. mongrel 0.3.12 (ruby) 11. mongrel 0.3.11 (ruby) 12. mongrel 0.3.11 (mswin32) 13. mongrel 0.3.10.1 (ruby) 14. mongrel 0.3.10 (ruby) 15. mongrel 0.3.9 (ruby) 16. mongrel 0.3.8 (ruby) 17. mongrel 0.3.8 (mswin32) 18. mongrel 0.3.7.1 (ruby) 19. mongrel 0.3.7.1 (mswin32) 20. mongrel 0.3.7 (ruby) 21. mongrel 0.3.6 (ruby) 22. mongrel 0.3.6 (mswin32) 23. mongrel 0.3.5 (ruby) 24. mongrel 0.3.5 (mswin32) 25. mongrel 0.3.4 (mswin32) 26. mongrel 0.3.4 (ruby) 27. mongrel 0.3.3 (ruby) 28. mongrel 0.3.2 (ruby) 29. mongrel 0.3.1 (ruby) 30. mongrel 0.3 (ruby) 31. mongrel 0.2.2 (ruby) 32. mongrel 0.2.1 (ruby) 33. mongrel 0.2.0 (ruby) 34. Cancel installation > Seems like you should just install whatever the latest stable version is. If someone needs to install something like mongrel 0.3.1, they should know how to do that on their own.
