That  *used* to happen when installing the 1-click[sic] version.

(It's in the PATHEXT system environment variable.  I think there has to 
be something n the registry as well, but you could get that by 
right-clicking a .rb file and selecting the app to always open files of 
that type.)


Anyways, on my Vista box, it all works fine.  I type the name of a 
script, no file extension, passing args, and all is super cool awesome.

I've never had to explicitly invoke ruby, even on XP. It's one case 
where Windows did the right thing reliably. :)
