I just downloaded Shoes and put the files in a directory on my windows  
XP box.

When I run the sample scripts, I always get the error:

uninitialized constant Shoes (NameError)

I tried adding the directory to my Windows path but that didn’t help.

I looked everywhere and can’t find any detailed installation instruction  
for Shoes.

Can anyone help and point me in the right direction?

thanks
