I don't really know anything about ruby-services (or win32 for the matter),
but maybe I can help you with FastRI's part. If fastri-server -b is indexing
the stdlib/your gems correctly, you can also use  qri  which works very much
like fri, the only difference being that it accesses the local index directly
without relying on the DRb service provided by fastri-server (it's a bit
slower too, but still much faster than plain RI, <1s vs. >10s for typical
queries).

Also, does the fastri-server (+fri) work when launched manually?
