This worked for Windows 8:

1.Download file.exe

2.Test if is well installed by running your cmd and put the following instructions
convert logo: logo.miff then run imdisplay logo.miff

You will get custom logo image,that will pop up on your windows screen. From here now you can start configuring everything on rails app

Open config/environments/development.rb

Add the following line: Paperclip.options[:command_path] = 'C:\tools\GnuWin32\bin' If your rails server is currently running,brake the server and then run again rails s.After that you should be ready to go.Upload image on your app.
