Hi,

I’m installing on Windows latest version of Ruby (on-click). Then I’m  
downloading the RubyGems zip and installing per  
[http://docs.rubygems.org/read/chapter/3#page13](http://docs.rubygems.org/read/chapter/3#page13), i.e. “ruby setup.rb”.  
(as I  
have a firewall issue for a normal update approach)

I get the following error however:

=======================================  
C:\Temp\rubygems-1.1.1\rubygems-1.1.1\>gem -v  
1.1.1

C:\Temp\rubygems-1.1.1\rubygems-1.1.1\>gem list  
ERROR: While executing gem … (NameError)  
uninitialized constant Gem::Commands::QueryCommand

C:\Temp\rubygems-1.1.1\rubygems-1.1.1\>

=======================================

Any ideas/advice?

Thanks

Can you try something else?

1. download rubygems-update-1.1.1.gem

2. gem install rubygems-update-1.1.1.gem

3. execute update\_rubygems

There could be some error with the generated scripts for the One-Click  
installer (btw, is 1.8.6-26, right?)

HTH,
