Anyone know why a vsinit.dll not found error occurs when trying to run  
the rails command on Vista Ultimate?

My first guess… File permissions? . I take it the file is, there?  
Somewhere? In a directory in the path$

This planet has - or rather had - a problem, which was this: most of  
the people living on it were unhappy for pretty much of the time. Many  
solutions were suggested for this problem, but most of these were  
largely concerned with the movements of small green pieces of paper,  
which is odd because on the whole it wasn’t the small green pieces of  
paper that were unhappy.

The dll is not present on the system at all. The ruby command works  
fine. Reinstalling did nothing.
