I did a fresh install of pik on my WinXP platform. I am an Admin user with all necessary read/write rights as far as I know. I tried 'pik install 1.9.2' and got the following:

C:\Documents and Settings\Grant Birchmeier>pik install 1.9.2

There was an error.

I had same kind of problem and when I saw this, I first updated pik and then installed ruby-1.9.2 and it was successfully installed. I did follow

$ pik up
$ pik install ruby 1.9.2

I use pik inside git-bash, so that's why $-chars.
