In the end I used the "ruby development kit": (http://github.com/oneclick/rubyinstaller/wiki/development-kit) 1. removed the old ruby folder completely, 2. and installed "ruby-installer". from the url above 3. then install devkit 4. open a new console , then type "gem install devise", done!!! the most important thing is to reinstall the ruby with "installer" ^_^ I met this problem too, and was not able to solve it by installing VC6.

Uninstall native windows ruby, install cygwin (select ruby from packages), install rubygems by hand (download and ruby setup.rb), then you can install stuff easily again.
