Hello all,

I need to install the following patch :  
[http://dev.rubyonrails.org/ticket/4457](http://dev.rubyonrails.org/ticket/4457)

Unfortunately I don’t have any idea how to use/install it…  
I am on windows xp.

Could someone help me, and sorry for my question which certainly is a  
bit stupid!

Best regards,

Barth
