Hello, I''m using instantrails 2 to develop RubyOnRails projects on windows and need to update my ruby version to 1.8.7 (I''m still using 1.8.6). I downloaded ruby 1.8.7 here http://ftp.ruby-lang.org/pub/ruby/1.8/ruby-1.8.7.zip and unzipped files in the ruby folder of instantrails but when I check "ruby -v" I still got 1.8.6 (I tried a gem update and same thing, some gems won''t update because they detect ruby 1.8.6 and not 1.8.7). Any idea what I''m doing wrong?? -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "Ruby on Rails: Talk" group.

Not sure how that squares with InstantRails, though. You might want to look at RailsInstaller from Engine Yard, which I gather is the latest thing for Windows + Rails. Someone else with experience using Posix software on Windows can probably point out my errors and what you should do.

I already had a look at RailsInstaller but I would prefer not to change my development environment, just update ruby to 1.8.7...I''m gonna keep looking for a solution about that.

You can take a look at Pik gem, it works very similar to RVM with the difference that this works on windows =D Here''s the URL: http://rubygems.org/gems/pik 2012/1/24 CiriusMex <ciriusmex-Re5JQEeQqe8AvxtiuMwx3w@public.gmane.org>> > > On Jan 24, 11:38 am, Walter Lee Davis <wa...-HQgmohHLjDZWk0Htik3J/w@public.gmane.org> wrote: > > On Jan 24, 2012, at 12:33 PM, CiriusMex wrote: > > > > > Hello, I''m using instantrails 2 to develop RubyOnRails projects on > > > windows and need to update my ruby version to 1.8.7 (I''m still using > > > 1.8.6).

Did the files from the zip end up in the ruby/bin and ruby/lib folders?

I downloaded binaries from http://ftp.ruby-lang.org/pub/ruby/binaries/mswin32/ruby-1.8.7-p330-i386-mswin32.zip and they worked fine.
