I am the one who (long ago) took on the task of getting the debugger to work under windows. I haven''t had much luck (and lately not much time). It looks like whatever the problem was has been fixed in 1.8.1 (FreeRIDE normally runs itself with a private copy of 1.8.0).> > I''m running ruby 1.8.1 compiled with visual c++ 7.1.

So, its not entirely surprising that that the debugger still does not work using the 1.8.1 rubyinstaller version. Given this, it might actually work with 1.8.1 that is built with vc++ 6.0. Of course, your guess about vc++ 7.1 could turn out to be correct as well. I will play around with it this weekend and see if I can determine the true reason -- and finally release a windows version of FreeRIDE with a working debugger! Thank you, thank you, thank you, Curt PS
