I'm experiencing a problem with file "ruby180-9.exe":  The install 
button is disabled.  (Fix at end.)
I've downloaded it twice today from two different sourceforge 
repositories, and also rebooted.  Made no difference.  Neither did 
picking custom instead of default, nor browsing to the directory that I 
wanted to install into.

The install directory choosen is the default.

I'm using Win98 (4.10.2222 A), I have 3.1x GB free, I have 511MB Ram on 
a GenuineIntel x86 Family 15 Model 1 stepping 2 CPU.  (It's a Gateway if 
that matters, the model isn't visible anywhere, sorry.)

It doesn't hang, or anything like that.  The install button is just 
disabled.  Back works fine.  So does both Cancel and clicking the window 
close box.

FIX:
In order to install I finally tried deleting the folder which the 
previous install had created (C:\ruby).  Then the install proceeded.  It 
appears to have come to a normal termination (I haven't rebooted yet, 
since I started this letter before the idea of deleting the old install 
folder occurred to me), but everything looks good.
