You're not on your own worrying about assumptions ;)
All the installer needs to know is the path to your ruby.exe -
it prompts for that and I'm reasonably confident that it's OK.

No - and it would be interesting to find out how that happened.
It should read:
   RUBYOPT=rubygems

Which is why Sakazuki-san suggested to try it :)
It's *not* an RDE problem.

Ruby can cope with that.

You need to establish why there's a :
   g:/ruby/lib/ruby/site_ruby/1.8/ubygems.rb
- but no :
   g:/ruby/lib/ruby/site_ruby/1.8/rubygems.rb

They should be together in that directory.
On my system, they both have the same 'modified' date & time.

See if this ruby line will find it.  If it does - you could
try moving it to the right place, although you could find
other installation problems which would make it easier to
start from scratch.

   puts Dir['G:/ruby/**/*ubygems.rb']

   #-> G:/ruby/lib/ruby/site_ruby/1.8/rubygems.rb
   #-> G:/ruby/lib/ruby/site_ruby/1.8/ubygems.rb

Good luck,

daz
