Hi,  
I’m trying to get up and running on rails.  
I’m on Vista 32 and have installed instant rails on C:\InstantRails  
from: [http://instantrails.rubyforge.org/wiki/wiki.pl](http://instantrails.rubyforge.org/wiki/wiki.pl)  
I’ve done the “gem update --system” and “gem install rails --include-  
dependencies”  
When I run the “rails music\_library” command from rails\_apps  
directory I get the default directory structure for a Rails  
application EXCEPT the “components” folder.

I’m having trouble with the  
schema.rb  
not transferring the MySQL table’s field names when I run rake  
db:migrate

I thought this might be the reason.

Can anyone help?

Thanks
