I just posted 1.8.1-13 Release Candidate 1 (RC1)for the Ruby Installer for Windows. This should fix the problems with RDoc and RI. RC2 will fix the reported win32ole problem, but I wanted to get this part out as soon as possible. You can download it here: http://rubyforge.org/frs/?group_id=167 Please report any problems by creating a bug report (selecting the group "181-13 Release Candidates") at: http://rubyforge.org/tracker/index.php?group_id=167&atid=715 Curt
