'gem install atomic' can't find DevKit even though it's right there in the path, why?

Here are some commands from my Windows 7 command prompt that show the problem. As you can see, I added everything I could think of to my path, trying to solve the problem. Same DevKit had worked for me before with the same Ruby installation, so I think I installed it right.

E:\ruby\bookmarks3Copy>gem install atomic -v '1.1.9'
ERROR:  Error installing atomic:
        The 'atomic' native gem requires installed build tools.

Please update your PATH to include build tools or download the DevKit
from 'http://rubyinstaller.org/downloads' and follow the instructions
at 'http://github.com/oneclick/rubyinstaller/wiki/Development-Kit'

E:\ruby\bookmarks3Copy>path
PATH=f:\ruby\DevKit;f:\ruby\DevKit\bin;[snip];f:\ruby\DevKit\bin;f:\programs\git\bin;"F:\Program Files (x86)\KDiff3"

E:\ruby\bookmarks3Copy>where ruby
f:\ruby\Ruby200-x64\bin\ruby.exe

E:\ruby\bookmarks3Copy>gem list atomic

*** LOCAL GEMS ***

atomic (1.1.14)

E:\ruby\bookmarks3Copy>bundle list atomic

pik list

It should show you

187: ruby 1.8.7 (2010-08-16 patchlevel 302) [i386-mingw32] 192: ruby 1.9.2p290 (2011-07-09) [i386-mingw32] 193: ruby 1.9.3p327 (2012-11-10) [i386-mingw32]
    200: ruby 2.0.0p247 (2013-06-27) [i386-mingw32] If its not pointing to ruby version 200 then

pik use 200

ruby dk.rb install It will enhance DevKit to your installed Rubies

Finally gem install rails

This will install latest rails version 4 for Ruby 2.0
