How does one _really_ install Ruby-mswin32?

Do you need Ruby 1.6.7 or would version 1.6.6 be good enough? If the
latter is OK you might want to consider using Andy Hunt’s installer for
Windows instead:

There is also what I believe is an alpha release of his installer for
Ruby 1.6.7 here:

Hope this helps,
