Ok so I tried this and it is asking me to choose the version. What is
the difference between the ruby and mswin32 versions. Is the ruby
version simply a generic version for all platforms including windows?

Just curious before I go an break something. :wink:

The windows version has a precompiled binary for installing on windows
without hassle. The Ruby version contains C code that must be compiled
as part of the installation. The Ruby version can be installed on any
platform, but will require a compile environment. Generally not a
problem on most unix based systems, but most Windows system don’t have
the compiler available.
