Definitely there is a problem with what you unpacked.

I see irb and irb.bat, and all the other script files.

However, maybe you misunderstood: the package contains only Ruby, no
other Tool or library unless was bundled with Ruby itself from the
source code.

So, if you're expecting get FXRuby or all the other packages you are
out of luck, mostly because none of those has been managed to get
working with MinGW and 1.9 at the same time.
