This is probably worth raising on the ruby-oci8 list, where I suggest 
you report the exact version of ruby-oci8 you installed, e.g. was it one 
of the ruby-oci8-x86-mswin32 files from rubyforge?

Check the documentation to see what the prerequisites are in terms of 
Oracle client libraries. Also, you might have issues if you are using 
32bit OCI8 vs 64bit Oracle libraries, or vice versa.

You appear not to be using the gem version of ruby-oci8, so perhaps "gem 
install ruby-oci8" would work better. Googling for "ruby-oci8 windows" 
suggested this.
