Thanks, this worked well. The Windows Installation instructions on the
website should be updated; right now, the instructions insist there''s
no need
to worry about dependencies. ("The only prerequisite to Instiki
installation
is a computer with Ruby version 1.8.1 or greater"). In fact, there are
many
dependencies that doing the gem install takes care of; the download approach
suggested in the user guide simply does not work.
