I got Rails installed under Windows, but it should have been easier. The version of RubyGems that was installed with Ruby was out-of-date, so when I tried installing Rails only the documentation module was installed. Unfortunately, there was no message that Rails wasn't actually installed. It wasn't hard to solve. I went to the Rails download page, which told me that I needed RubyGems 0.8.11 or higher. For some reason, the Ruby installer I downloaded from the Ruby home page came with RubyGems 0.8.3, a version from December '04. It's not a big deal as far as getting open source software installed on Windows, but if Rails is the major reason new Ruby users are appearing in such large numbers, it would make sense for the Rails people to make sure the standard Ruby distribution is able to run their product. Once I upgraded RubyGems to 0.8.11 installing Rails went with no problems.
