Cannot install Aptana Studio 3.6 on Windows

Question

I'd like to use Aptana Studio for Rails development under Windows. I currently have different dev tools & ide's up and running (like git/ruby/jdk) and I'd like to install Aptana Studio as well but I can't. After downloading and running installer, it starts properly and after I choose destination dir, it starts downloading prequisities. I have several problems with it:

1. After a while, it tries to install node.js (well, I am not sure why, but let it be) and sometimes it installs it ok, but sometimes it just fails with no error, telling me only that aptana couldn't install prequisities.
2. If by a chance node.js is installed, it tries to install msysgit (again, I don't know why, because I have git installed and added to PATH). When installing msysgit is done, all i get is info that "installing msysgit failed" and all I can do is click finish in installer which is telling me that prequisities couldn't be installed.

I am using Win7 x64, ruby 1.9.3p-545, msysgit 1.8.4, jdk 1.7. Does anyone had simmilar problem and succesfully installed this ide?

Answer 1

Right click the installer and choose "Run as administrator". I suspect it needs administrator account to download and install Node JS during installation.

Answer 2

I'm using Win 8.1, and have installed Aptana easily, and use for PHP programming without any issues. And just experimented with Ruble enhancement to the UI. All seems to work just fine.
