Hi Well sadly I had no reply to my original post for help about my RoR being rubyOFFrails so I am replying now to my own post to update it. I have now found a solution - I was using Ruby19 and windows vista baulked at this (at one stage saying it could not find mscrvtruby18.dll (?)). So I looked harder at the RoR download page & it recommends Ruby 1.8.7 I could not find this but I uninstalled Ruby19 & have installed Ruby 1.8.6 instead and then followed an installation tutorial at
http://www.wdvl.com/Authoring/ror/Vista/saurabh_bhatia10202009.html (using sqlite3-ruby & mongrel) & I have now the home page up & running on localhost:3000- problem sorted! Now I look forward to following the further instructions & developing with RoR. Well it is good to talk-even if it is only to yourself! Maybe this post here though may help others to set up without Ruby19 which wasn't compatible with Rails for me! Goodluck....
