A: Yes ! It can be a hassle to get all the right stuff going on rails,
instant rails makes it easy to have multiple rails versions. You can
always add /ruby/bin to your path, and start up rails apps as normal
too.
Simply adding ruby\bin to the Windows PATH does work, but doesn''t
provide a full Ruby development environment. It is missing the file
associations that invoke Ruby on .rb[w] files, does not have Windows
Start Menu entries for the SciTE editor and the FreeRIDE IDE, doesn''t
have the custom icons for .rb[w] files, and does not create the
RUBYOPT=rubygems environment variable needed to make rubygems part of
your system.
To rectify this, do the following:
Temporarily rename the directory ...\InstantRails\ruby to something
else (like ...\InstantRails\ruby-save).
Install the [One-Click Ruby Installer] at ...\InstantRails\ruby.
Now that you''ve got all the nifty system mods, delete the directory ...
\InstantRails\ruby and rename ...\InstantRails\ruby-save back to its
original name.
