New installation instructions for Windows

Jim Strupp has written a very detailed and helpful installation guide for installing Tracks on Windows, using Uniform Server. He’s also added instructions for putting Uniform Server and Tracks on a USB memory stick, so that you can take Tracks with you and use it on any computer with Ruby installed. You can download a PDF of his instructions here. Thanks, Jim!

Thank you, Kevin! You helped me take care of a completely unrelated issue with your post.

Is there anyway to make the command window that runs tracks start automatically and minimize into the tray? 

I don’t like having that window open on the taskbar

Would have been nice, but the instructions were just too incomplete. I tried multiple docs, Uniformserver, Instantrails, ruby/gems/rails/sqlite/mysql but didn’t get beyond errors on a web page. I’ll look at this again in the near future. Hopefully someone will make the install easier or the docs more precise.

Thanks a lot for sharing. I used it in my class, the other students also say hi and thanks smile Greetings from germany, Steve
