That still doesn't work for me 🙂

Looks like I've messed up the install somehow. I used the ruby one-click installer. I selected C:\Program Files\ruby. However, I also have a C:\ruby folder and thats' where all of the win32 stuff is. I think I'm going to re-install.

OK, I'm good now. I had part of ruby in C:\Program Files\ruby and another part in C:\ruby

Embarrassing... 🙂

Thanks for the tips!
