Upgrading Ruby installation on Windows #360

Closed metaad closed 6 months ago

metaad commented 7 months ago

What problems are you experiencing?

I am not sure if this is correct forum, Please redirect to the correct one if any. I am silently upgrading Ruby installation on Windows 10 machine from version 3.1.4-1 to version 3.2.2-1 but they coexists. Is it intended behaviour or is there any option to upgrade it from old to new version silently? Also if we have to uninstall old version before installing new version then are there any settings which will be retained and applied to new version?

Steps to reproduce

Install 3.1.4-1 Install 3.2.2-1

What's the output from ridk version?

The general recommendation is to update patch versions to the same directory and "Ruby" versions (2.6, 2.7, 3.0, 3.1, 3.2, etc.) to separate directories. So, it's normal for 3.1.4 to overwrite 3.1.3 but not have 3.2.1 overwrite 3.1.3, for example.
