This is, as I said, the fifth time in less than TWO WEEKS. I'm not
Curt, but I'd be pretty sick of hearing the question by now. I've been
working in parallel with Curt (not in contact with, but he is aware of
what I'm doing) to make it so that everything can be built with the
Visual C++ 2005 Express Edition. I've got nearly everything working
with the base compile, and now I'm working on making sure that certain
features work the way that they're supposed to given that Visual C++
2005 has changed its compile mechanism (and making changes to the way
that zlib is included, since zlib.org has some guidelines on shipping
when compiled with anything other than MS VC++ 6).
It almost ALWAYS takes a minimum of two weeks to get the one-click
installer's first release candidate, because there's a *lot* there.
Frankly, I was too short with Dany. But "ruby 1.8.4 one click
installer" returns this as its first item:

It's not hard to find, and I think that it's polite of the asker to
have at least done a little google searching first. (To compare: I
have been trying to get OpenSSL compiled properly with VC++ 2005 since
26 December. I downloaded the latest snapshot for several days to see
if a particular problem was fixed. I also worked with the OpenSSL CVS
repository to review the changes from the OpenSSL 0.9.8 release. It
wasn't until yesterday that I posted a question to openssl-dev to ask
about the problem when I was certain that I had exhausted what I could
do. Last night, I posted a patch to their build process to fix other
problems that I was having. I'm not saying everyone should go to the
lengths that I did, but I am saying that it's generally a good idea to
at least do a little working.)
