Is this repeatable? Can you check that you get nothing in the errors
console (which is normally hidden of course) when you do this?

Can you check the file survived transmission intact? md5 sum or something?

C:/Program Files/Common Files/Shoes/0.r1134/lib/shoes/shy.rb would
be ruby code. Can you see why the error is (meant to be) raised?
