Rails is an application framework for the web that runs in the  
language called ruby.

If you run ruby185-24.exe you will be installing Ruby; you can  
separately install Rails or you can try the Instant Rails package.

I suggest that you do a little reading on the Ruby language homepage  
([ruby-lang.org](http://ruby-lang.org)) and the rails homepage ([rubyonrails.org](http://rubyonrails.org)) before you  
try any of this – you don’t seem to have a clear understanding of the  
basics of this and without any of that, you’ll end up making a hash of  
your experience with Ruby.

“Rails” is just a short way of saying “Ruby on Rails”. What you’re  
looking at there, though, is Ruby, which is the programming language  
in which Rails is written.
