For more information see: http://rubyforge.org/frs/shownotes.php?release_id=41087. This release is the first to give IronRuby a MSI-based installer for Windows.

Thanks for this release. One problem with the MSI install is that it is requiring admin rights to install. This is not an option for me. thanks for all the hard work Dominic On Mon, Nov 2, 2009 at 5:20 PM, Jimmy Schementi < Jimmy.Schementi at microsoft.com> wrote:> The IronRuby team is pleased to announce version 0.9.2! > > http://ironruby.net/download > Direct download link: > > http://ironruby.codeplex.com/Release/ProjectReleases.aspx?ReleaseId=33693#DownloadId=90621 > > As IronRuby approaches 1.0, these 0.9.x releases contain important bug > fixes > and enhancements that IronRuby users request; this release fixes/closes > 44 bugs.

igem fails to install gems to the default install location (c:\Program Files\IronRuby 0.9.2) presumably because of the spaces. I can''t recall the exact error message but something about "invalid characters in the path". It seems fine if you install ironruby to a path that doesn''t contain spaces. Not sure whether this is a bug with rubygems or ironruby? Something should be escaping the space characters or wrapping in quotes.

I''m not convinced this is a "spaces in the name" issue. I think it is more likely a privileges/UAC issue. Vista and Win7 are very paranoid about allowing anyone except the trusted installer to write files to the Program Files directory. If you explicitly run the command prompt as administrator, does the issue still occur? -- Will Green http://hotgazpacho.org/ On Tue, Nov 3, 2009 at 11:37 PM, Jim Deville <jdeville at microsoft.com> wrote:> Please file a bug with us and i''ll investigate to see if MRI acts > identically. > > > > -----Original Message----- > From: Mark Ryall <mark.ryall at gmail.com> > Sent: Tuesday, November 03, 2009 8:26 PM > To: ironruby-core at rubyforge.org <ironruby-core at rubyforge.org> > Subject: Re: [Ironruby-core] [ANN] IronRuby 0.9.2 Released > > > igem fails to install gems to the default install location (c:\Program > Files\IronRuby 0.9.2) presumably because of the spaces. > > I can''t recall the exact error message but something about "invalid > characters in the path". > > It seems fine if you install ironruby to a path that doesn''t contain > spaces. > > Not sure whether this is a bug with rubygems or ironruby?

I encountered the problem on windows xp as a local administrator. I doubt there was anything so elaborate as special treatment of the program files folder in those halcyon days of xp security - all local adminstrators are probably treated alike.
