rubygems for win32 seems to be broken for windows xp users. I have
windowsxp pro sp2 + ruby 1.8.2 (all-in-one installer) and rubygems
0.8.11. I cannot install rails:
gem install rails --include-dependencies
Attempting local installation of ''rails''
Local gem file not found: rails*.gem
Attempting remote installation of ''rails''
Updating Gem source index for: http://gems.rubyforge.org
ERROR: While executing gem ... (Errno::EINVAL)
Invalid argument
another try:
gem install rails --source http://gems.rubyonrails.com --include-dependencies

Local gem file not found: rails*.gem
Attempting remote installation of ''rails''
Updating Gem source index for: http://gems.rubyonrails.com
ERROR: While executing gem ... (Errno::EINVAL)
Invalid argument
I have even upgraded rubygems to latest svn version but it could not
help. The same errors appear.
I googled for phrase: "ERROR: While executing gem ...
(Errno::EINVAL)" and I could found the same problem share many winxp
users but *there is no solution* :(

It worked for me. However, the command I issued was: gem install rails I don''t know if the --include-dependencies option is the one broken, but since you can confirm the inclusion of dependencies while installing, why don''t you try that and see if it works? - Ivan V.

I had no problems. Maybe you should try to download the installer again and
try reinstalling

There is always the same error. It is strange because in past I could use gem and I installed Rails for the same computer. -- JZ

I used to have a similar issue with gems myself. However, I uninstalled all my anti-virus/anti-spyware programs and it worked fine. If your using a proxy you should do a "set http_proxy=http://xxxxxxx:8080" before issuing a gem install. Trust me, winXP is screwed but gems work just fine.
