I downloaded and installed Wget (which was put in C:\Program Files\GnuWin32\Bin (added this directory to my path environment in windows) 2. I downloaded and installed unzip.exe into a new folder called C:\Ruby\unzip\ and added this folder to my path environment in windows. 3. Performed gem install rake-compiler => successful. 4.
