I had trouble installing a gem recently. I downloaded the gem on my
desktop, and then the install went easy as peach.

this way you know if the problem is the internet connection or the gem
installation

can you find where gem is installed and tell it the explicit path,

for ex
c:\ruby\bin\gem install rails --remote
or some such, haven't use a pc for a while.

i've tried that, and a dialoque box comes up saying
"c:\ruby\bin\ruby.exe" is not a valid Win32 application"
Then in that command prompt it says:

C:\ruby\bin> gem install rails --remote

C:\ruby\bin>"c:\ruby\bin\ruby.exe" "c:\ruby\bin\gem" install rails
--remote

Thanks
Chris

Chris,

I just installed Ruby 1.8.4 a few days ago in a W2K box without any
problem, the path you wrote down is the default installation path and
should work. What did you use to install Ruby, The one click installer?
Was your PATH Environment variable updated to include ruby/bin?

Try Instantrails : one .exe with everything in it in the right place :
ruby, rails, apache, mysql, everything you need except maybe Scite or
some nice text editor for ruby.
