Sorry for not fulfilling your expectations and our hard work is not up
to your "desired" standards.

To answer your _issues_:

* Adding Ruby to the PATH requires administrative privileges. The
installer doesn't ask for them to be safely installed into corporate
environments.

* It doesn't associate .rb or .rbw files because changes in the
registry related to file associations ALSO require administrative
privileges

* Ruby 1.9 is not meant to be compatible with Ruby 1.8, that is a
fact, and everybody knows about it.

Please refer to the FAQ for other questions that you may have:

If you want something different, please, be my guest and fork the
project, patches are always welcome.
