I cannot get a RoR setup under Vista Home Premium up and working with  
MySQL. Any suggestions. I’ve spend two weekends plus the week in  
between to no avail. Any help is appreciated. Thanks.

Please give a quick run down on how you are setting your machine up. I’m  
using Vista right now with no problems, and should be able to point you  
in  
the right direction.

Dear Jason,

could you take a look at 2 of my postings as well, as my problems using  
RoR with Vista are still not solved, and you might know the answer !
