i was using an older version of the one click installer, but i could never get any fxruby programs to run. so i updated with the latest rc version fxruby programs STILL don’t run. now i’m wondering if there’s something special i need to do to get it working?

The installer should have set RUBYOPT. It should also set the file associate that lets you double-click on those files. Are you running 184-17? If so, then something went wrong with your installation (do you have adminitsrator privileges?), and I would suggest that you uninstall and then reinstall. ---

Also, the one-click installer includes two FXRuby programs that you should be able to run to verify that everything is properly installed: FreeRIDE and fxri. You can find shortcuts to run them in the start menu. Curt ---

You can find shortcuts to run them in the start menu. and both of those run. via the batch file in the ruby\bin directory. that’s why i posted. i figured the fxruby examples would run also… [http://home.cogeco.ca/~tsummerfelt1](http://home.cogeco.ca/~tsummerfelt1) telnet://ventedspleen.dyndns.org
