This may not be an answer as such, and I don't want it to come across as snarky or anything, but you would be doing yourself a favor by looking into VirtualBox(free) and installing an instance of Ubuntu or another *nix operating system. Whether you're doing this for fun or for profit, you will spend a lot less time trying to figure out why you're getting errors and more time coding if you use something other than Windows to work with Ruby and Rails. It just works better.

I started from scratch with Rails 3 years ago and this is probably one of the best steps I took to become a better developer.
