Subject: Deploying (and updating) a ruby client application on a Windows LAN

Hi,

I'm about to deploy a ruby client-server application on multiple
computers on a LAN, and I was wondering if anyone had experience in this
domain. Installation requires a few steps:

1) Install Ruby
2) Install FXRuby
3) Install a few patches
4) Install ODBC for MS Access reporting
4) Install a directory with all the application tree

I don't fear a first installation done by hand on each computer. But it
would be great if all the updates could be automatic.

What is the best direction to take? Gems, Capistrano? Something else,
OS-based?

Thanks for your ideas and tips!
