Hi:
I would like to install Ruby with an IDE on windows.
I don’t use windows normally and hence I only
marginally follow its progress.
Is there a single installer that will give me ruby
and an IDE (like FreeRide?) in a single install?
I don’t know if it matters, but do I need to be concerned
with mingw and cygwin or whatever?

Not exactly, though there are Ruby Windows installers linked off of
http://www.ruby-lang.org that come with the scite editor. As for an
IDE, I generally use RDE on Windows (listed on the RAA).

I use the PragInstaller+activeScriptRuby, just to get RubyWin as a
basic IDE

Thanks for the info. The RDE docs say to use mswin. Is this
what Andy’s install uses?

Hi:
I installed ruby and downloaded rde, but I could not get it to install.
I tried to run install.rb and got the following:
C:\Temp\rde\rde0990src\main>“c:\program files\ruby\bin\ruby” install.rb
rename c:/program files/ruby/lib/ruby/1.6/debug2.rb to c:/program
files/ruby/lib
/ruby/1.6/~debug2.rb.
debug2.rb → c:/program files/ruby/lib/ruby/1.6/debug2.rb
rename c:/program files/ruby/lib/ruby/1.6/rde_extend.rb to c:/program
files/ruby
/lib/ruby/1.6/~rde_extend.rb.
rde_extend.rb → c:/program files/ruby/lib/ruby/1.6/rde_extend.rb
rde.dll → c:/program files/ruby/lib/ruby/1.6/rde.dll
c:/program files/ruby/lib/ruby/1.6/ftools.rb:18:in stat': No such file or directory - "rde.dll" (Errno::ENOENT) from c:/program files/ruby/lib/ruby/1.6/ftools.rb:18:in syscopy’
from c:/program files/ruby/lib/ruby/1.6/ftools.rb:43:in copy' from install.rb:33 from install.rb:26:in each’
How is rde.dll installed?

Yes. mswin is MSVC++, as opposed to cygwin or mingw. So RDE should
be compatible with the PragProg installation out of the box.

Oops - looks like you downloaded the source, not the binary. Scroll
down a bit on the sourceforge page. You shouldn’t have to do any sort
of installation work. Just double click on the rde.exe (which has a red
& white icon).
I’ve done the same thing.

Duh. Thanks. I’ll get the binary this time hopefully.

After the last of 16 mounting screws has been removed from an access
cover, it will be discovered that the wrong access cover has been
removed.
Ok, now that I have got the right version. 
I click on the rde.exe and it brings up a dialog
saying that an error has occured, a log file has
been generated (it doesn’t tell me where) and
that windows is going to shut down the app.
This was for version 0990. I did not see 0991, but I did
see 0991patch.
Ok, now what have I done wrong? 
Thanks
