jekyll on windows ,why can't work?

I type jekyll serve And: 

E:\blog>jekyll serve
Configuration file: E:/blog/_config.yml
            Source: E:/blog
       Destination: E:/blog/_site
 Incremental build: disabled. Enable with --incremental
      Generating...
Error reading file C:/Ruby23-x64/lib/ruby/gems/2.3.0/gems/minima-1.0.1/_layouts/default.html: No such file or directory @ rb_sysopen - /Ruby23-x64/lib/ruby/gems/2.3.0/gems/minima-1.0.1/_layouts/default.html

                    done in 3.54 seconds.
  Please add the following to your Gemfile to avoid polling for changes:
    gem 'wdm', '>= 0.1.0' if Gem.win_platform?
 Auto-regeneration: enabled for 'E:/blog'
Configuration file: E:/blog/_config.yml
    Server address: http://127.0.0.1:4000/
  Server running... press ctrl-c to stop.

It requires minima so I installed the minima, but nothing seems to work.I visited server address but nothing.
Help please.

Please copy the _includes and _layouts folders under C:/Ruby23-x64/lib/ruby/gems/2.3.0/gems/minima-1.0.1/ to your repo E:/blog/ and try to rerun this cmd 'jekyll serve'.

Now, preview your local Jekyll site in your web browser at http://localhost:4000.

Good luck.

My portable Ruby/Jekyll kit:

Download ruby-2.3.1-i386-mingw32.7z Some gems require DevKit. Download the 7z version.

Decompress both and add to your PATH. I've added the following (I use Cmder)

@set iii=%cli%\Ruby\bin
@set jjj=%cli%\RubyDevKit\bin\
@set kkk=%cli%\RubyDevKit\mingw\bin\
@set PATH=%PATH%%aaa%;%bbb%;%ccc%;%ddd%;%eee%;%fff%;%ggg%;%hhh%;%iii%;%jjj%;%kkk%;%lll%;

Test Jekyll with a known good website:

git clone https://github.com/plusjade/jekyll-bootstrap/ testsite
cd testsite
jekyll serve

If Jekyll works, the problem is with something else.

You don't mention your version, but Jekyll 3.2.0 is broken on Windows. Updating to 3.2.1 fixes some known issues. Update Jekyll with the following command:

$ gem update jekyll

From http://jekyllrb.com/news/2016/08/02/jekyll-3-2-1-released/

Well, 3.2.0 has been a success, but with one fatal flaw: it doesn’t work on Windows! Sorry, Windows users. Hot on the trail of 3.2.0, this release should squash that :bug:. Sorry about that!

This release also fixes an issue when using gem-based themes where the theme was rejected if it existed behind a symlink. This is a common setup for the various ruby version managers, and for Ruby installed via Homebrew.
