If a developer isn't comfortable with setting ENV variables what hope do they have to actually write decent code? Even visual studio has it's own special command prompt runner (guess what, it's a bat file, just like dev.bat) Regarding 10 servers, why not? You can write a setup script once and execute it on those 10 servers. > This also adds extra work for writing build scripts that will do this > work. > > Maybe the IronRuby installation should add the IronRuby folder to a > common path which is same for all the machines.

Try run regasm on a clean windows 7 machine from the command prompt and watch it fail. This does however raise a small question - does the IronRuby MSI installer drop a registry entry that others can use to determine the installation path? That seems to be common practice amongst windows apps, and might be handy
