Rails command not working on Windows command line

I installed Ruby and Rails and set-up the PATH to "C:\Rails\Ruby2.3.0\bin", but when I try to run commands with rails, I get the error message:

The System cannot find the path specified.

I am able to run commands using ruby, and rails works if I use GitBash. How do I make it work on my normal command line?

If it's a simple question of locating the rails executable on Windows, then on later installs that use msys64 instead of DevKit, you'll find rails at the following folder: 

c:\msys64\o-rdoc

Add this to your PATH or execute from that folder.

Your path may vary on 32-bit systems or if you changed the default install folder.

Had the same problem here, installed the same way. Couldn't even run rails commands on GitBash, only way was going in C:\Rails\Ruby2.3.0\binthrough cmd and typing, for example, ruby rails new projectname. The rails new projectnamewouldn't work even in these conditions.

What I did was going in the Command Prompt with Ruby and Rails and entered gem install rails (which did not work on cmd). I also did gem install bundle. Both installed successfully and that fixed all consoles for me: cmd, GitBash (wasn't working for me), Command Prompt with Ruby and Rails and even cmder works with Rails now.

Hope this helps you. Cheers.
