I'm surprised that a gem is offered as "exe". I always first try
to install the gems like this:
gem install -r GEMNAME
This usually takes care of downloading, provided the gem can be found
at rubyforge. If you prefer, or if you get a gem from a different
site, you can download the gem and install it locally:
gem install FILENAME
(where FILENAME is the name of the downloaded gem).

At least if you use a sufficiently new version of Ruby, it *should* be
there.
What does ruby --version say?
Next, execute
ruby -e "puts Config::CONFIG['bindir']"
and have a look in that directory: Is there no GEM.BAT?
Could it be that you have moved ruby.exe after installation to some
directory
in your PATH, so that only ruby.exe is seen, but not the other
utilities?
Can you for example execute
ri Array
or do you get here an error message too?
