just used ruby184-20.exe for a win98 ruby install

I get this when I invoke irb  
C:\RUBY\BIN\RUBY.EXE: No such file or directory – irb (LoadError)

I didn’t change any settings during install. Ruby is in c:\ruby. I  
rebooted after install.

I found earlier posts on this issue, but I couldn’t parse a solution  
from them.

batch file problem?

here’s irb.bat:

@echo off  
if not “%~f0” == “~f0” goto WinNT  
ruby -Sx “%0” %1 %2 %3 %4 %5 %6 %7 %8 %9  
goto endofruby  
:WinNT  
“%~d0%~p0ruby” -x “%~f0” %\* -r irb/completion  
goto endofruby  
#!/bin/ruby

# 

# irb.rb - intaractive ruby

# $Release Version: 0.9.5 $

# $Revision: 1.2.2.1 $

require “irb”

if **FILE** == $0  
IRB.start( **FILE** )  
else

# check -e option

if /^-e$/ =~ $0  
IRB.start( **FILE** )  
else  
IRB.setup( **FILE** )  
end  
end  
**END**  
:endofruby

Looking forward to solving this problem with help from the community.

Thanks
