On my Windows 98 desktop the installer appears to load correctly.
When I attempt to run Freeride from the windows menu, however, the
following message is shown in the DOS terminal window:
Win98 doesn't keep the environment in the registry. Does your
autoexec.bat include Ruby as part of the path (e.g., is c:\ruby in the
SET PATH= line?). If it isn't, you'll have to add it. If it is, you'll
have to reboot to make it stick.

The One-Click Installer doesn't officially support Windows 98.
However, if you take Austin's advice it'll probably work (no
guarantees, though).

Win98 doesn't keep the environment in the registry. Does your
autoexec.bat include Ruby as part of the path (e.g., is c:\ruby in the
SET PATH= line?). If it isn't, you'll have to add it. If it is, you'll
