If you are using One Click installer Ruby for Windows, then your code should work as you have it. If you are using cygwin, then it probably won't work correctly with the backslashes. Based on the path you are referring to: C:\ruby\, I assume you are using One Click Ruby. However, in either event, forward slash should work.
