Looks like you might have the wrong version of MYSQL C-Connector library installed

You'll need this one: enter image description here

Basically, Windows 7 doesn't come with any MYSQL header files required to help the gem run. You'll need to install the 32-bit ver of MYSQL C-Connector, and then use this command to install the gem:

gem install mysql2 —platform=ruby — ‘—with-mysql-dir=”C:\mysql-connector-path”’

In that video they have mentioned one file row.bat

I have just changed the sequence of lines..

set PATH=c:\windows\system32;c:\windows
set PATH=%PATH%;C:\row\mysql-connector-c-noinstall-6.0.2-win32\lib
set PATH=%PATH%;c:\row\Ruby200\bin
set PATH=%PATH%;C:\Program Files (x86)\MySQL\MySQL Server 5.1\bin
start "Rails on windows" /D c:\row

And its working now
