Here's what I did on XP SP2 running under Parallels.

- Download and install MSFT Visual C++ 2005 Express Edition (gratis)
- Get the Windows Platform SDK
- Install Ruby 1.8.x using 1-click Windows Installer
- Grab Ruby 1.9 from Subversion

- Click through: Start Menu / Platform SDK / Open Build Environment
Window / Windows XP 32-bit ... / Set Windows XP ... Build Environment
- In the command window that opens, run "c:\Program Files\Microsoft
Visual Studio 8\Common7\Tools\vsvars32.bat"
- win32/configure.bat
- nmake

Result:

C:\dev\ruby\win32>ruby -v
ruby 1.9.0 (2007-04-12 patchlevel 0) [i386-mswin32_80]
