Are you using the latest self-installer distribution from
pragmaticprogrammer.com? I believe that in the recent distributions
rd2 works fine out of the box.

I think I had an older version of the pragprog distribution on a
Windows 98 machine and I discovered I had to set up an "rd2.bat" in my
ruby\bin directory to get it to work.  Try something like this:

  @echo off
  "c:\ruby\bin\ruby" "c:\ruby\bin\rd2" %1 %2 %3 %4 %5 %6 %7 %8 %9

Hope that helps.
