Problems installing Thin on windows 7 x86

Question

I\'m having problems getting thin working on my Windows 7 machine (I\'ve already installed eventmachine v0.8.1):

>gem install thin --i

Answer 1

A binary for thin is in fact available (and apparently one has been since ver 1.2.2).

However, I couldn't install thin on Windows 7 with Ruby 1.9.2 (p290) because of its dependency on EventMachine.

Running gem install thin --ignore-dependencies was what was needed to get thin itself installed.

Just wanted to add this note for some other ruby on Windows user.
