Instiki has just recently made compatible with Ruby 1.9, but they do
not mention Ruby 1.9.2 in their site, so I would assume is not.

You are not providing the full output of the console when you're
running instiki, we need the full backtrace to be able to help you.

I'm assuming a gem that is installed is conflicting, so far the only
gem I can think of is json, which do not provide fat-binaries
compatible with Ruby 1.8 and 1.9.

To solve that particular gem issue, you will need to uninstall
existing gem (gem uninstall json) and install it using the
RubyInstaller DevKit:

http://rubyinstaller.org/downloads
http://github.com/oneclick/rubyinstaller/wiki/Development-Kit

All that assuming you're using RubyInstaller distribution of Ruby
1.9.2
