On Windows, I downloaded ruby-1.8.5-p12-i386-mswin32.zip and unpacked it  
to C:\ruby. Then I downloaded rubygems-0.9.2, cd’ed into it and typed  
“ruby setup.rb”.

I got :

C:\rubygems-0.9.2\>ruby setup.rb  
ruby: no such file to load – ubygems (LoadError)

I’m going to try another package/version, but just letting people  
know…

True, but I renamed the original folder (to hide it) and reinstalled to  
the original path, so I wouldn’t expect the old version to be a  
problem…

The old version isn’t; your environment is.
