Hi Curt. ; Thought I'd give some feedback stuffs on one-click after the latest announcement on the ruby mailing list.
Some random thoughts:
One-click rocks!
It might be worth looking into compiling it with VC8, as apparently it is speedier (see http://www.ruby-forum.com/topic/59411#new which seemed to say so at the bottom).

A suggestion--when it installs I'm still a little lazy and wish that there were an option 'just overwrite everything in my ruby directory!' maybe with a warning 'this is dangerous&#39; and 'make sure to turn off any ruby programs&#39; and 'unspecified results,&#39; or what not.  I tried doing that recently (seeing if ploughing over it resulted in a working distro) and it seems to work fine.

A note--it still says still says 185-24 in the folder under "program files"; (I believe).

And a small suggestion--when I first started using one click I got confused as to what 185-24 meant in comparison to the ruby core patch level.&nbsp; "Were they the same?"; "What patch level was 185-24 using, anyway?&quot; That type of thing.&nbsp; It might be helpful to newbies like me if the numbering sequence were modified slightly, such as 186-26-111 or 186-111-26, so that I don't get so confused.

Anyway that's it! Thanks for your work. ; Worked well (didn't override my path, and I had pre-existing Ruby).&nbsp; I'm glad to finally have a working ruby again
