Sometimes I really wish you were less disperse.

This has been discussed at RubyInstaller group for the past month.
Feedback and observation were asked for the past 3 weeks even with you
involved in other threads in the group.

Anyhow, "ruby install.rb install" doesn't sound good, install is an
action and "dk" is not, which sound better IMO.

Maybe because you didn't use the installers and instead the 7z
packages. There is no way to detect that.

That is why is crearly indicated at the end of init that you should
manually add other Ruby installations that weren't detected.

Good one, please open a Issue at GitHub:

I believe that is the job of the installer. The SFX were created as
short-term alternative but by no means is the replacement of the
installer.

Thank you for the feedback.
