I installed Ruby through RubyInstaller 1.9.1 RC2, available from rubyforge , updated gems and installed rails. Everything worked fine with webrick. For fun, I installed mongrel using "gem install mongrel". Installation went fine:
Successfully installed gem_plugin-0.2.3
Successfully installed cgi_multipart_eof_fix-2.5.0
Successfully installed mongrel-1.1.5-x86-mingw32
3 gems installed

Now, when I start the web server using "ruby script / server", I get the error message:
"The program cannot start because msvcrt-ruby18.dll is missing on your computer."
Then webrick starts and starts normally.
I assume that the problem with Rails 1.9 and mongrel expects 1.8? (I'm new to rails, and there is no real reason for me to use mongrel .. just picking it)
