[wtr-general] Re: Gem Recall Notice: win32-api
Thanks for the report and for taking this up with the rubygems developers. I just read your recent posts there, but don't normally follow that list. Please let me know if involvement will help.

[wtr-general] Re: Gem Recall Notice: win32-api
Actually Dan, I'd like to thank you for the work you, Park and others have done on win32-utils and other projects (rubygems) to help make sure that Windows *is* well represented in Ruby. Obviously several of the gems in win32-utils have provided the Watir community with functionality we wouldn't otherwise have and be able to take advantage of. So a sincere thanks from me, it's an impressive and helpful amount of work you've provided to both rubyists and watiristas everywhere. Every once in a while there might be hiccups with all the moving parts - in this case it seems to be rubygems and/or hoe - but occasionally that's to be expected.

Magnujf, You have done all that is necessary in order to repair the specific problem that this notice was written for. Could you please send a detailed description of what is not working to the Watir General mailing list?

How do I completely uninstall Ruby from windows XP? Is running the Uninstall-icon inside the Ruby-folder sufficient? Do I need to install a never wersion than Ruby 1.8 to cope with the gems recall problem? The problem is that the one-click-installer is version 1.8.6 and that might be the version with the problems gems recall. Is there another place to download a one-click-installer without the gems recall problem?
