So far, so good.

Yeah, that was your mistake. You need to pick the option that says
fxruby 1.4.2 (mswin32). It is most likely your second option. That
will install a precompiled version of FXRuby for Windows with little
or no muss or fuss. The option that you're choosing (the "fxruby 1.4.2
(ruby)") tries to build FXRuby from source code, which is painful in
the best of cases.
