Command failed with status (1): [ruby setup.rb install --no-ri --no-rdoc --...] (See full trace by running task with --trace) [/code] Do you know if I am missing a command somewhere. It seems like the whole process unzips and builds fine it is just falling over in the final stages when installing the files. The folder "C:/Code/jruby/Installs/luislavena-rubyinstaller/sandbox/rubygems_mingw" already exists, but I think the C: part on the end is an issue. -- Posted via http://www.ruby-forum.com/.
