Can't find the correct version of Ruby for Vim without Cream

I got Vim without Cream 7.3.744 from here http://sourceforge.net/projects/cream/files/Vim/. When I look at :help ruby-dynamic it says:

You need to install the right version of Ruby for this to
work.  You can find the package to download from:
http://www.garbagecollect.jp/ruby/mswin32/en/download/release.html
Currently that is ruby-1.9.1-p429-i386-mswin32.zip

Currently the name is "msvcrt-ruby191.dll".

The name of the DLL must match the Ruby version Vim was
compiled with.  Currently the name is "msvcrt-ruby191.dll".
That is for Ruby 1.9.1.  To know for sure edit "gvim.exe" and
search for "ruby\d*.dll\c".

But it doesn't work with ruby-1.9.1-p429-i386-mswin32.zip, :echo has('ruby') returns 0.

When I look in gvim.exe, it says the dll is msvcrt-ruby19.dll, notice 19.dll not 191.dll. But I can't find a version of Ruby that includes that file. Even Ruby 1.9.0 has a dll called msvcrt-ruby190.dll. I tried just renaming the dll, but it just results in another error, namely:

LoadError: incompatible library version - 
C:/Program Files/Ruby19/lib/ruby/1.9.1/i386-mingw32/socket.so

Where can I find the correct version of Ruby? Or can I solve this some other way?

I got into contact with a developer of Cream without Vim, and he said:

Sorry, took a closer look and fixed all this with a variable value adjustment. Please try the latest build and confirm if it fixed your issue:

http://sourceforge.net/projects/cream/files/Vim/7.3.762/

And it seems to work. Although for some reason, when I'm trying to use vim-foreplay which uses Ruby, Ruby 1.9 with the official installer, and this new version of Vim without Cream with Ruby 1.9 is much slower than Ruby 1.8 together with Vim without Cream 7.3.289. Using vim-foreplay with the last mentioned version is instant, while both the two others require 1 second to eval code, and 2 seconds to set up a connection.
