Alright, thanks for that information. So what is the difference between if I install Ruby using the Windows one-click installer, and if I just go get the latest Ruby version and extract it over the old installation? Other than now my uninstall won't work -- I still have my path set to all of the batches and executables for Ruby. Does the Windows one-click installer do something special on Windows?

If you install the Ruby binaries without the Windows installer, I believe some libraries won't work until you perform some extra steps manually. Looks like you have to manually add the Ruby bin/ dir to your PATH, too. If you check the Ruby on Windows section here, there are some details: http://www.ruby-lang.org/en/downloads/ It says to follow these steps: http://www.garbagecollect.jp/ruby/mswin32/en/documents/install.html And finally, there's a technology preview of a 1.9 installer posted here, but I don't know how complete it is yet: http://rubyinstaller.org/ Looks like they are in the process of changing the name from One-Click Installer to RubyInstaller. I've been tempted to try 1.9 and see what the performance is like, but haven't had the time yet...

the windows one click install is version 1.8.6. 1.8.6 is the most stable one and widely used. you might run into all sorts of problems and mess up all the current set up. It would be wise not to do that. /// Karim Rayani http://karimnumerouno.wordpress.com On Fri, Sep 18, 2009 at 7:28 AM, Nathan Lane nathamberl...@gmail.com wrote: Alright, thanks for that information.

sorry to misguide you you can follow the steps in the below article as well, it contains the detailed instruction to install the ruby 1.9.1 on a windows machine, but i am not sure if you would be able to download the latest watir package which has the 1.9.1 fixes :) Regards, http://karimnumerouno.wordpress.com On Fri, Sep 18, 2009 at 8:29 AM, karim rayani karim@gmail.com wrote: the windows one click install is version 1.8.6. 1.8.6 is the most stable one and widely used. you might run into all sorts of problems and mess up all the current set up.

From what i have done is, Firewatir is compatible with ruby 1.9.1 on ubuntu. still i was unable to use Ruby 1.9.1 on windows that comfortably. I guess Watir with Ruby 1.9.1 might be on the way once we have a stable One click installer for Window, the highest priority for the ruby community right now would be to get rails with Ruby 1.9.1 in production environment and to do that many libraries need a fix. you can find the status of the gems on isitruby19.com and search for the gems. the site is made to perform the cleanup activity for ruby 1.9.1.
