That's not what I meant to say. It defaulted to C:\ruby but should have defaulted to C: \ruby182 which is where he had previously installed Ruby. Why can't a user install into an existing directory? Does this mean if I have Ruby 1.8.2 installed in C:\Apps\Ruby and want to install Ruby 1.8.4 there on top of it, I have to remove or uninstall 1.8.2 *first*? -austin -- Austin Ziegler * halostatue@gmail.com * Alternate: austin@halostatue.ca
