A: Yes, except it will not bundle 20+ gems and extensions like it currently does Q: I run an install program, without having to do any building, and it installs my product. A: Yes, as long the gem you install has Windows binaries. Q: If the gem I try to install has not Windows binaries, what I should do? A1: Bug the gem developer and make them use rake-compiler A2: We will provide a set of development kit that will ease the building of those, but is not intended for average normal users. Just under those circumstances. Q: along with a Scite editor or something to easily edit the files)? A: Maybe not. Keeping Ruby update to date requires quite of effort. The SciTE schema files for Ruby will need to be updated to highlight properly the new 1.9 syntax, which is beyond the scope of One-Click Installer project. Regards, -- Luis Lavena
