Description jamespb 2007-07-03 02:09:57 UTC 
Downloaded the latest version of NetBeans Ruby.  Ran it, and got a very empty display.

It didn't take me long to realize I had just started the netbeans exe from inside the zip file, but it would be nice to
fail more explicitly when that happens.

I even clicked through the windows dialog box telling me that I was about to run from an zip file.

Product Version: NetBeans Ruby IDE 070703 Java: 1.6.0_01; Java HotSpot(TM) Client VM 1.6.0_01-b06 System: Windows Vista
version 6.0 running on x86; Cp1252; en_US (nbrubyide) Userdir: C:\Users\James\AppData\Roaming\.nbrubyide\dev

Reassigning this issue to newly created 'ruby' component.

Seems pointless to worry about this one now that netbeans has released.  I'm closing it.
