This link:

ftp://ftp.ruby-lang.org/pub/ruby/binaries/mswin32/ruby-1.9.1-p129-i386-mswin32.zip

Downloads a 13.5MB file.

After extraction, on a command prompt:

C:\Users\Luis\Downloads>ruby_1_9\bin\ruby.exe -v
ruby 1.9.1p129 (2009-05-12 revision 23412) [i386-mswin32]

Seems OK to me.

Perhaps they have 1.8.7 in the PATH, so is going to interfere. They
should check where that particular Ruby installed:

C:\Users\Luis\Downloads>ruby_1_9\bin\ruby.exe -v -rrbconfig -e "puts
RbConfig::CONFIG['bindir']"
ruby 1.9.1p129 (2009-05-12 revision 23412) [i386-mswin32]
C:/Users/Luis/Downloads/ruby_1_9/bin
