This is my fault, I should have mentioned this in the announcement...

There is an incompatibility in the persistent config files between FreeRIDE
0.7.0 and later versions (both the FreeRIDE installer and the one-click
installer are version 0.9.0). The ay to fix this is to delete the old config
files and let them automatically get recreated the next time you run
FreeRIDE.

Go to %USERPROFILE% (usually that is "C:\Documents and Settings\<username>")
and delete the "freeride" subdirectory). The run FreeRIDE and all should be
ok.

PS

The FreeRIDE installer is different, and needs to install in a separate
location. It includes its own runtime version of Ruby, and will run
independently of whatever version of Ruby you have installed.
