Re: 1.9 Installer

Thanks for your reply Luis!
I sincerely appreciate your job developing ruby installer.

Actually, my question is about what differs this 
http://rubyforge.org/frs/download.php/18566/ruby186-25.exe from this 
ftp://ftp.ruby-lang.org/pub/ruby/binaries/mswin32/ruby-1.8.6-i386-mswin32.zip 
except for the fact there is a instalation wizard :P

regards
