I'd prefer a more stable setup with multiple Ruby versions, Pik and Ocra gems, and InnoSetup.\r\nIf I had more time at my hands, and some bigger download bandwidth, this would take less than a week (now that the path is clear). I hope I won't miss another release - but on the other hand, there have always been complaints with a big executable (antivirus warnings, variable \"installation\" paths, and the whole HTTPS certificate hassle). How popular was the Installer at all? Google won't tell me :("}}
