No I don't, but this was the sixth result for "ruby xslt windows" on Google:

  Using Ruby on Rails and XSLT to Create a Word 2007 Document
  http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/ee895050%28office.12%29.aspx

    The Ruby on Rails applications that you create in this Visual How To
    uses the following components, which you must install before you build
    the application:

      * Ruby version 1.8.6 language.
      * RubyGems version 1.3.5
      * Ruby package manager to enable installation of Ruby gems.
      * Rails version 2.3.2 Web development framework.
      * ZipRuby gem version 0.3.2 to provide Ruby language bindings for
        libzip library for reading, creating, and modifying zip
archives to enable
        working with Word 2007 documents as ZIP files.
      * Nokogiri gem version 1.3.3 to enable XML document support.
      * LibXml-Ruby gem version 1.1.3 to provide Ruby language bindings for
        the GNOME Libxml2 XML toolkit.
      * LibXSLT-Ruby gem version 0.9.2 to provide Ruby language bindings for
        the GNOME Libxslt toolkit.

So it looks like:

  gem install nokogiri libxml-ruby libxslt-ruby

And the documentation for libxslt-ruby:
