I’ve played with this a little, and offhand I
haven’t yet seen a compelling reason it shouldn’t
(in theory) run on Win32.
I made a couple of minor changes, and here is
where it chokes (see below). Not sure why.

FYI, I’m on Win98 so I can’t use the ASSOC trick
or whatever it is.
I used my “generic .exe” trick that I posted a
few months back, which seemed to necessitate
changing the filename to 8.3 form (since the
C program’s ARGV[0] was a shortened form and
was causing problems).
I also removed the shebang line (if I recall
correctly). And I perhaps made one other change,
but can’t think what it was. Oops.
Anyhow, this is just in case anyone is working
on a Windoze version.
I’ve heard about this problem before - I don’t think it was caused by
anything you did. It’s unfortunate, the only reason the gzip library
is in the package is for windows users…
Maybe I’ll check it out on a windows box and see if I can figure out
what’s up.

I have a fix for this. The Tempfile which is used to handle HTTP reads
greater than 10k isn’t reading in binary mode. We’ll release a 0.0.6
tomorrow to fix a number of Windows (and Ruby 1.7) glitches.
In the meantime, you can simply increase the size_limit' buffer inside of raa-install to buffer everything in memory. Look for the line in lib/raainstall/raaopen.rb’:
And increase the size_limit default to 128k or so.

For anyone interested, I’ve created an raa-install mailing list at:
All are welcome.
