Subject: Re: Does one-click install leave other installs intact?

My guess is that you will have to. When I upgraded to 1.8.4 from 1.8.2,
the installer asked me to remove my previous version. With that, I lost
all my installed gems and had to start from scratch. I am aware of any
other way to do this.
