Hi, I have installed visual ruby in windows7. It got installed properly. But when i start the application, ‘visual ruby project root’ opens but no folders are displayed there, so i chose select folder and selected a example project and clicked open. Now the visual ruby application got opened and the list of example projects got displayed in the left pan. If i select any of the project and click run am getting the following error. C:/Users/abhiram/visualruby/examples$ ruby main.rb ruby: No such file or directory – main.rb (LoadError) I dono how to fix it. Could any one help me out of this. ---

Hello Abhirama, You need to select a specific example in order to run it, from what you show above, it attempts to run main.rb from the examples folder, which isn’t a specific VisualRuby project, it’s just a folder that contains the examples. It’s a bit confusing the first time you attempt to create a project, or open a project, without specifically knowing how to do it. If you delete the files: main.rb, bin, and .vr\_settings.yaml, from the examples folder with VisualRuby closed, then attempt to Open VisualRuby again, the Project Selection Dialog should now populate with the Example Projects in it. I am currently working on a new version of VisualRuby IDE, to help ensure that this works in a more familiar manner to other IDE’s, like Visual Studio, or MonoDevelop. If you have any further questions, please feel free to let us know. hth, Mario On Sun, Feb 3, 2013 at 1:52 AM, Abhirama Sundram \< [removed\_email\_address@domain.invalid](mailto:removed_email_address@domain.invalid)\> wrote: > C:/Users/abhiram/visualruby/examples$ ruby main.rb > Make your web apps faster with AppDynamics > Download AppDynamics Lite for free today: > [http://p.sf.net/sfu/appdyn\_d2d\_jan](http://p.sf.net/sfu/appdyn_d2d_jan) > > * * * > > ruby-gnome2-devel-en mailing list > [removed\_email\_address@domain.invalid](mailto:removed_email_address@domain.invalid) > [https://lists.sourceforge.net/lists/listinfo/ruby-gnome2-devel-en](https://lists.sourceforge.net/lists/listinfo/ruby-gnome2-devel-en) – Mario S.

Thanks alot for your reply mario. Now it is working. Actualy now i went inside the project folder opened bin, now the project is getting opened. Before this the problem was, when i tried to open a project by clicking the exact project folder the example folder was opened with all of the project in it. The thing is when i try to open any of the folder, the parent folder is getting opened that was the problem i think. Again thanks for spending your time. Thanks – Abhiram UDProducts www.udproducts.in
