XAMPP (I think you mean) probably doesn't include ruby or rails cause XAMPP stands for X, Apache, MySQL, Perl and PHP. Note: no "R". That being said, I'd bet you could download the windows ruby installer, which I think includes gem. Install rails via gem and run the lot under the Apache provided by XAMPP. But if all you want is ruby and ruby on rails, you can ignore XAMPP altogether and just use the Webrick server which is included with rails. -Mat
