After upgrading to IronRuby 1.1.1, I try run IIRB, and I get the following exception: Have I screwed up my install? What I did was this: 1. Ran the IronRuby installer 2.

Right, the installer installs only to GAC. You can download all the binaries from http://ironruby.codeplex.com/releases/view/49097#DownloadId=159562.There is no point copying them to Program Files. Once they are in the GAC all apps load them from there. You can build a redistributable msm Windows installer package if you want to include IronRuby in your Windows app or you can just grab the binaries from the link above if you want an xcopy deployment. It seems irb doesn''t like the command you''re writing ... does it include non-ASCII characters?
