== Pre-install Recommendation

     Before installing these modules, you may want to stop all Ruby 
services and
     then uninstall any old modules by executing the uninstall.exe 
typically
     found under:

         C:\ruby\lib\ruby\site_ruby\1.8\i386-msvcrt\win32

     That is assuming that you had installed the old modules using the 
one-click
     installer for win32utils ;-)

== Where to find it

     RAA:        http://raa.ruby-lang.org/project/win32utils-inst/

== Test Platforms

     We have tested the installer and all the modules under Win XP (Home),
     Win XP (Pro), and Win 2K Pro.

     where the library modules are installed.
