Would reinstalling 1.6.2 be a possible way for you?. If memory serves
right, recent Win installers offer some kind of repair/resintallation.

Anyway, I'd like to recommend

http://www.pragmaticprogrammer.com/ruby/downloads/ruby-install.html

to get the Win install kit. The other site (www.rubycentral.com) doesn't
seem to be updated as frequently.

BTW, the Win installer is in version 1.6.5 now, so your might like to
try that (works fine for me).

Hope that helped,

Stephan
