Hi - I’ve looked around and haven’t been able to find a current set of instructions. What is the preferred way to setup IronRuby 0.9.2 with MSSQL and ActiveRecord support? Do I still need to install the MRI, or can IR stand on its own now? Thanks Regards, Jay Turpin "I long to accomplish a great and noble task, but it is my chief duty to accomplish small tasks as if they were great and noble. " - Helen Keller ---

Those beginning MRI steps on [http://ironruby.net/Documentation/Real\_Ruby\_Applications/Rails](http://ironruby.net/Documentation/Real_Ruby_Applications/Rails) can probably just be run with IronRuby. Don’t bother customizing the gem path either. Step 7 and 8 shouldn’t be needed either, since those bugs are now fixed.

Thanks - you’re correct. We don’t need to install MRI any longer. I updated the installation instructions on the wiki.
