I created a ticket for that:  
[http://thin.lighthouseapp.com/projects/7212-thin/tickets/45-thin-on-windows-errors-on-missing-gem](http://thin.lighthouseapp.com/projects/7212-thin/tickets/45-thin-on-windows-errors-on-missing-gem)

We’ll get it fixed. As a work-around, you can install the ‘daemons’ gem.
