 Hi Pascal,

 As far as I know RSRuby doesn't install/work on Windows. It should be 
 possible to modify the source/build code to make it build, but I don't 
 have a Windows machine (or the time!) to do that work myself - 
 apologies. RSRuby does install fine on *nix based systems or if you are 
 tied to Windows I think RPy (the equivalent Python package) does install 
 on Windows.
