The system cannot find the path specified because of ExecJS::RuntimeError

I'm running Windows 7 x64, Ruby on Rails 3.2.13 from RailsInstaller.

When I run my thin server and reload the Local Host I run into this:

$ thin start
>> Using rack adapter
>> ......
>> Listening on 0.0.0.0:3000, CTRL+C to stop
The system cannot find the path specified.

This is because of the error:

ExecJS::RuntimeError at /

["ok","(function() {\n\n\n}).call(this);\n"] 
(in C:/Users/..../assets/javascripts/info.js.coffee)

info.js.coffee being an empty file and recent one I created from rails g controller info. In my browser with the better_errors gem, I see I have an error with the application layout on this line:

6   <%= javascript_include_tag "application" %>

I've been trying to correct this issue and did everything that was done in this question yet none of it worked. I uninstall Node.js completely but then it won't even let me run the server since it tells me I need a javascript runtime script and the default Windows one doesn't work.

Just now I tried to do gem install coffee-rails but run into this error:

gem install coffee-rails
Temporarily enhancing PATH to include DevKit...
Building native extensions.  This could take a while...
The system cannot find the path specified.
ERROR:  Error installing coffee-rails:
        ERROR: Failed to build gem native extension.

        c:/RailsInstaller/Ruby1.9.3/bin/ruby.exe extconf.rb
creating Makefile

I think I'm on to something. Does anyone know how to install this?

You have to install an additional gem for javascript, just edit Gemfile and add

gem 'therubyracer'

or for windows

gem 'therubyracer', :platform => :ruby
