Please use "Start Command Prompt with Ruby"

You receive that because Ruby *was not* added to the PATH.

During installation it ask you "Add Ruby executables to the PATH" as a
checkbox, and you didn't check it.

Because of that, you can only start Ruby from the above mentioned
shortcut or by adding Ruby's bin directory to the PATH:

SET PATH=C:\Ruby192\bin;%PATH%
