Ok, it seems I lost my bet.

But the "missing MSVCR80.dll" error is because some extension is
linked with it, and your application is loading it.

You can install the Microsoft Redistributable C runtime 8.0 and maybe
that will solve the error message.

Yes, that version of ruby will get proper, existing compiled gems installed.

Can you provide the whole list of gems you have installed?

Also, you''re using One-Click Installer, InstantRails or Bitnami?
