I saw this also on XP. Modified code, create .exe, original code
launched. All done on XP.

Wasn't sure if the problem was that the original .exe wasn't upgraded,
or something was caching the app. Didn't pursue this any further.

Subject: Package, cached exes and gem installs

All,

I've got 2 strange problems. I create a  *.exe on OSX ... then I boot
WindowsXP in parallels. From Windows, I access the mac hardrive and
launch the *.exe.

Strange thing is it doesn't matter how many times I create a new exe,
its always the first exe I created that gets executed (I know because
the shoes console announces the version of the shy inside the exe.).
Something is caching the exe.... I dont know if its the Package
function, or Shoes on Windows, or parallels when accessing a file from
OSX. Has anyone else had this problem?

In an attempt to work around this, I just create a *.shy file... and
try to run that from windows. This time the new version is executed
... but now it says it "No such file to load 'mechanize'" ... despite
the fact that I have :

Shoes.setup do
   gem 'mechanize'
end

... can anyone throw any light on these issues?

Etienne
