The ones installed from former One-Click are built using Microsoft
Visual C 6.0, that defines the Ruby platform as i386-mswin32.

The new ones are built with MinGW (GCC) and the platform is i386-
mingw32

Both remains binary compatible because they link to the exact same C
Runtime library (MSVCRT.DLL) but sometimes the gems compiled or built
against VC6 will not work on MinGW, or viceversa.

The new shape of installer and the reason for be that way is better
explained and covered here:

I made this announcement a few weeks ago:

http://groups.google.com/group/comp.lang.ruby/browse_thread/thread/c38255aacd68d6dc

But you can search for all my answers at google groups (just search
for Ruby Installer)

Hope all this information helps.
