Their FAQ covers it as:

Q: Can I use Instant Rails for all my Ruby needs?

A: Yes ! It can be a hassle to get all the right stuff going on rails, =
instant rails makes it easy to have multiple rails versions. You can =
always add /ruby/bin to your path, and start up rails apps as normal =
too.

Simply adding ruby\bin to the Windows PATH does work, but doesn't =
provide a full Ruby development environment. It is missing the file =
associations that invoke Ruby on .rb[w] files, does not have Windows =
Start Menu entries for the SciTE editor and the FreeRIDE IDE, doesn't =
have the custom icons for .rb[w] files, and does not create the =
RUBYOPT=3Drubygems environment variable needed to make rubygems part of =
your system.

To rectify this, do the following:


Temporarily rename the directory ...\InstantRails\ruby to something else =
(like ...\InstantRails\ruby-save).
Install the [One-Click Ruby Installer] at ...\InstantRails\ruby.
Now that you've got all the nifty system mods, delete the directory =
...\InstantRails\ruby and rename ...\InstantRails\ruby-save back to its =
original name.


that should get you started in the right direction :)=
