I just attempted to install Mongrel on Windows. I''m not going to run it as a service, so I thought I''d select the ruby flavor (option 1). See error message below. Q: Is the ruby flavor not supported on Windows? If so, it would be useful to update the website with this info. Thanks, Mike.

For Windows, where a compiler isn''t available by default, a separate pre-compiled package is usually made available. Hence the split. Hope that helps, Bryan -- "Never tell people how to do things.
