ActiveScriptRuby for Ruby 1.8 Running Environment Required Win32 and DCOM (later, I described the reason). WindowsNT SP3 or later (but I never test with it) Windows98 (but I never test with it) Windows95 with DCOM1.1 or later (but I never test with it) Windows2000 WindowsXP Required additional libary If you use Windows95, then you need DCOM1.1 or later (I suppose maybe necessary updates was already included in IE5 distribution, and Windows98). You are hardly recommended to get or upgrade to Internet Explorer 5.01 (I've never checked in 3.x and 4.x), whether you like or not, whether you navigate in Internet with it or not (indeed, I never navigate in Internet with IE, sorry).
