 Running rbot on win32
 =====================
 
-here is bdb:
+You can install Ruby using the One-Click Ruby installer, available from
+http://rubyinstaller.rubyforge.org/
+
+You can find a precompiled version of the bdb package for ruby here
 http://ftp.ruby-lang.org/pub/ruby/binaries/mingw/1.8/ext/bdb-0.5.1-i386-mingw32-1.8.tar.gz
 
-and you need the Win32 MinGW version of Ruby:
-http://ftp.ruby-lang.org/pub/ruby/binaries/mingw/1.8/ruby-1.8.4-i386-mingw32.tar.gz
+When you unpack the archive (e.g. using WinZip or 7-Zip or any other tool
+of your choice) you'll notice that it contains the following directory structure:
+  usr
+   +---local
+         +---doc
+         +---lib
+and you have to move the doc and lib folders (and all their contents) in the folder
+where you installed Ruby (typically C:\Ruby\)
