First you should check this out if you haven't: https://rubyinstaller.org/
then on that site it has instructions on how install the development kit.
if you look at the documentation for devkit https://github.com/oneclick/rubyinstaller/wiki/Development-Kit follow the instructions
- cd to devkit directory
ruby dk.rb init
ruby dk.rb install
After those steps above try to install your gem again.
