Can't install gems (Windows)

Ruby

That ‘someone’ is me, so I’m pretty aware of that release and its
limitations :slight_smile:

Somehow, I knew that someone might have been you as soon as I posted
that this morning. :slight_smile:

You are everywhere!

God bless you though. You are really a god send to this community.

Take care mate.
