bundle install libv8 (therubyracer) installation fails (with native extensions) on Windows

I am trying to do a bundle install on my windows machine and I have tried to include the two following gems: 

gem 'therubyracer'
gem 'libv8', '3.3.10.4'

But neither seem to work which leaves me with this error:

dler issue tracker at https://github.com/carlhuda/bundler/issues so that we can fix it. Thanks!

Make sure you have Python 2.7 installed and in your Windows path.

Check out the language dependencies: https://github.com/fractaloop/libv8/graphs/languages

You'll need to install Python on your machine. I'd also install the latest version of bundler once that's done:

gem install bundler --pre
