Hi, when I try to use a date\_select like this:

\<%= date\_select(:contact, :event, :discard\_year =\> true) %\>

I get the following error:

1 error(s) on assignment of multiparameter attributes

Ticket #3811 ([http://dev.rubyonrails.org/attachment/ticket/3811/date\_helper\_megapatch\_against\_1.1.2.0](http://dev.rubyonrails.org/attachment/ticket/3811/date_helper_megapatch_against_1.1.2.0))

Says it's already corrected but I'm using rails 1.1.6 an still get the error.

How do I apply the patch manually on windows?

Thanks,

Gabriel.
