Uninstall your Ruby and try rvm to manage your Ruby and gems

&gt; I&#39;ve tried this on both Ruby 1.8.7 and 1.9.3 and result is identic=
al. I<br>
&gt; need to install a specific gem (bewildr) but when I try it I get this:=
<br>
&gt;<br>
&gt; C:\Ruby187\bin&gt;gem install bewildr<br>

<br>
It seems one environment variable is affecting RubyGems to work<br>
properly.<br>
<br>
There is a similar entry on RubyInstaller wiki:<br>

<a href=3D"https://github.com/oneclick/rubyinstaller/wiki/Troubleshooting#w=
iki-network_drive_home" target=3D"_blank">https://github.com/oneclick/rubyi=
nstaller/wiki/Troubleshooting#wiki-network_drive_home</a><br>
<br>
Which is caused by setting a network drive as home.<br>
<br>
Can you verify what are the values of the following variables?<br>
<br>
SET HOME<br>
SET HOMEDRIVE<br>
SET HOMEPATH<br>
SET USERPROFILE<br>
SET RUBYOPT<br>
<br>
And post it back?<br>
<br>
That will help us help you better.<br>
