Install Ruby on Windows issue

Question

I am trying trying to install Ruby on Win7 64bit with rubyinstaller-1.9.3-p484.exe and/or rubyinstaller-2.0.0-p353-x64.exe. During installation I have an error about Ruby not able to make any changes to Registry. After skipping this step I still can run Ruby as :

C:\Ruby\bin\gem.bat gem update --system

with permission denied (Errno::EACCES)

Note: I am administrator on my System and I run cmd.exe with administrator privileges. Also, I've elevated Ruby folder permissions. Can somone to give a hint?

Answer 1

Try to avoid using C:\Ruby193 as your directory of installation.
