This release candidate of the One-Click Installer for Windows adds the FreeRIDE Ruby IDE (which has full source code navigation and a graphical debugger), and updates ruby-odbc to version 0.994. As soon as Matz releases Ruby 1.8.2 final, then we will release the final 1.8.2 version of the One-Click Installer Curt You can download this release candidate from: [http://rubyforge.org/frs/?group\_id=167](http://rubyforge.org/frs/?group_id=167) ===== Original Text from RC7 Release ===== Ok, ok... I know I said no more releases until 1.8.2 final, but Matz just released 1.8.2 preview2 so I thought I would get an installer out that includes this before I go on my vacation tomorrow. There were no other changes since rc6 Enjoy! ===== Original Text from RC6 Release ===== This release candidate of the Ruby Installer for Windows was built from the recently released Ruby 1.8.2 preview1. Unless serious problems are reported, this will probably be the last release candidate until matz releases 1.8.2 final. There were four changes since RC5: - tab-completion in irb now works    (thanks to \_why for his help). - The OpenGL support that was    inadvertently left out of RC5    is back in. - Start menu shortcuts have been    added to online documentation on    [ruby-doc.org](http://ruby-doc.org). - The "reboot" dialog message at the    end of the installation has been    removed to enable unattended    installations using the command    line arguments:       /S /D=\ You can download this release candidate from:   [http://rubyforge.org/frs/?group\_id=167](http://rubyforge.org/frs/?group_id=167) You can check for reported problems (or report new problems) at:   [http://rubyforge.org/tracker/?group\_id=167](http://rubyforge.org/tracker/?group_id=167) What is the Ruby Installer for Windows? > **路路路** > > --------------------------------------- > > The Ruby Installer for Windows is a "one-click", > self-contained Windows installer that contains > the Ruby language itself, dozens of popular > extensions and packages, a syntax-highlighting > editor and execution environment, and a Windows > help file that contains the full text of the > book, "Programming Ruby: The Pragmatic Programmer's > Guide". > > Change Log for 1.8.2-14\_RC6 > --------------------------- > - This is a build of Ruby 1.8.2 preview1. > - Corrected missing OpenGL support. > - Added Start Menu shortcuts to documentation >   on [ruby-doc.org](http://ruby-doc.org). > - Eliminated the installer dialog message that >   warned you might need to reboot your system. >   This allows for unattended installs using the >   command-line arguments: >       /S /D=\ > - Changed the layout of the Windows registry >   entries. > - Fixed a typo in a windows registry entry >   (bug 643). > - Upgraded Expat to version 1.95.7 > - Upgraded Ruby-odbc to version 0.993 > - Upgraded DBI to 0.23 > - Upgraded FXRuby to version 1.0.29 > > \_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_ > Rubyinstaller-announce mailing list > [Rubyinstaller-announce@rubyforge.org](mailto:Rubyinstaller-announce@rubyforge.org) > [http://rubyforge.org/mailman/listinfo/rubyinstaller-announce](http://rubyforge.org/mailman/listinfo/rubyinstaller-announce) > > --- > Incoming mail is certified Virus Free. > Checked by AVG anti-virus system ([http://www.grisoft.com](http://www.grisoft.com)). > Version: 6.0.726 / Virus Database: 481 - Release Date: 7/22/2004 ---

Hi! First of all, thanks for the effort, it's really appreciated! 馃檪 Still, I'd like to see some features and have some issues: Being the lazy guy that I am, I like to create new files by using the 'new' command in explorers context menu. So, in order to create a new ruby programm, I right-click in the folder I'd like to have the new file in, choose new, choose new ruby programm, and explorer generates an empty file 'new ruby program.rb' (or something alike). Any chance to have an option for this in the installer? (you'd need to create a new key 'ShellNew' under 'HKEY\_CLASSES\_ROOT\.rb' and add an emtpy REG\_SZ (String Value) named NullFile. Of course I could always do it by hand, but as I said, I'm lazy 馃檪 ) [http://www.mvps.org/sramesh2k/shellnewadd.htm](http://www.mvps.org/sramesh2k/shellnewadd.htm) has a pretty good explanation how to do it by hand And I'm having troubles selecting the installation directory. The 'browse'-option allows me to create new folders, but does not allow to select this newly created folder (the 'Ok'-button stays disabled ). I have to type the folder into the field to have the installer accept it. (Yikes, typing!) I'm using Win 2k 馃檪 Sorry if this did come up before, I wasn't able to find anything on the list or in the installer-wiki. Henrik ---

(Then Firebird takes it upon itself to append this extension to the file name. Dopey.) This could be a Mozilla bug, but might the download page be sending a response header stating that the file's MIME type is gzip? (I believe that when you add a file to the download section on RubyForge, you need to indicate the file type, so perhaps it is set to gzip.) Thanks, James ---

These are god ideas. The best way to get this on the to-do list is submit a feature request:   [http://rubyforge.org/tracker/?atid=718&group\_id=167&func=browse](http://rubyforge.org/tracker/?atid=718&group_id=167&func=browse) I can do this later, if you don't get to it.

I've been making changes to the TCL/TK setup based on the advice of others, but for me I'm shooting in the dark because I personally know nothing about it (maybe its time to learn :-). Did this work for you with RC7? The only thing I changed was to compile the TCL/TK support with the --enable-tcltk\_stubs option. If RC7 worked fine then I'll probably just remove this option because I've already spent more time on this than I could really afford. Thanks again, and let me know if RC7 worked for you.

Hello, There was a feature that I used to want in Perl, that was somewhat difficult to do. I wanted to be able to drop text files onto a ruby script in windows and have the ruby script automatically executed either with the text files as standard input or as command line arugments. This feature is difficult to add since you need to know some visual c++ and windows programming. I am just wondering if there are any windows programmers on this list who might have some ideas about this.

I did a download of the one-click, using wget, and it gives these headers: HTTP request sent, awaiting response...   1 HTTP/1.1 200 OK   2 Date: Wed, 18 Aug 2004 00:58:34 GMT   3 Server: Apache/1.3.31 (Unix) PHP/4.2.3   4 X-Powered-By: PHP/4.2.3   5 Content-disposition: filename=ruby182-14\_RC8.exe   6 Content-length: 11586665   7 Keep-Alive: timeout=15, max=100   8 Connection: Keep-Alive   9 Content-Type: application/binary I think I've prolonged upgrading firefox because it doesn't know how to carry over my extensions and settings.

Trevor, I've done exactly this using Exerb -- once you've built an EXE of your script, you can just drag-and-drop files onto it, and your script receives the full file path as its first argument. > **路路路** > > -- > Lennon > [rcoder.net](http://rcoder.net) ---

Is there a way to determine what method you are in? class myApp     def mydef        error = true;        raise "#{self.class} : #{self.calling\_method} error     end end Something like the #{self.calling\_method} above perhaps? Thanks, Zach ---

That makes more send to me, too. Since the current release seemed to fail with a simple require 'tk', I can easily verify that this changes fixes that.

This is different from Trevors question if i understand it correctly. You use one indirection, trevor want's a two level step: A ruby script that gets started by a ruby interpreter and that script gets the dropped file path. I've seen a patch for MacOS X that does this but not for windows. > **路路路** > > -- > Best regards, emailto: scholz at scriptolutions dot com > Lothar Scholz [http://www.ruby-ide.com](http://www.ruby-ide.com) > CTO Scriptolutions Ruby, PHP, Python IDE 's [Next page](https://rubytalk.org/t/ann-one-click-ruby-installer-1-8-2-14-rc8-for-windows/13099.md?page=2)
