Neel, Ruby on Windows has some issues with the built in file copy command, I never got script/extension install working on my windows dev setup. However, it is not too hard to install extensions manually.
Here is the radiant wiki article on it: http://wiki.github.com/radiant/radiant/installing-extensions Since Windows does not have wget, you will either have to install it ( http://gnuwin32.sourceforge.net/packages/wget.htm) or just use your web browser to download the tarball instead. For example, to install Comments: 1: Open your web browser and put this url in your address bar: http://github.com/artofmission/radiant-comments/tarball/master (the great thing about github is if you have a git url like git:// github.com/artofmission/radiant-comments.git from the extension registry, changing the git:// to http:// and removing the .git from the end will get you the web page of the extension on github, and adding /tarball/master on the end will download a .tar.gz file of the latest version of the extension). 2: Once you have downloaded the tarball, extract it into your <project>/vendor/extensions/comments folder (create if necessary) so the files in /vendor/extensions/comments/ match the listing here: http://github.com/artofmission/radiant-comments. WinRAR and 7-zip should both open these just fine in windows or you can download bsdtar - http://gnuwin32.sourceforge.net/packages/libarchive.htm - to extract via the command line - use bsdtar -xvzf <archivename>. 3: open your command prompt to your project directory and run the following two commands: C:\Website> rake radiant:extensions:comments:migrate and C:\Website> rake radiant:extensions:comments:update If you get an error running one of these two commands saying rake does not know how to build this task, then the extension you are installing may not have anything to do in this task. In the case of the comments extension, it should run both. 4: restart your web server and then go to your admin site and check your settings, comments should be listed as installed and everything should be working. Hope this helps!
