Ruby Installed but Rails is Still "cannot find the path"

[Avy Ferguson]

Help please. 

Running Win10 if that matters.

I've read some back posts and I've tried a completely uninstalling and reinstalling. 

Then tried just uninstalling rails and reinstalling (via gem) and still can't get rails to verify installation or be usable. 

C:\Sites>gem uninstall rails

Select gem to uninstall:

 1. rails-4.2.5.1

 2. rails-5.0.0

 3. All versions

> 3

Successfully uninstalled rails-4.2.5.1

Successfully uninstalled rails-5.0.0

C:\Sites>gem install rails

Fred Oliver posted in another thread and others confirmed it works so I'm trying it. 

Here's his fix:

change the file contents to:

@ECHO OFF

IF NOT "%~f0" == "~f0" GOTO :WinNT

@"ruby.exe" "rails" %1 %2 %3 %4 %5 %6 %7 %8 %9

GOTO :EOF

:WinNT

@"ruby.exe" "%~dpn0" %*

Another user posted a list of other files needing this change:

List of .bat files with this bug:
bundle.bat
bundler.bat
erubis.bat
nokogiri.bat
rackup.bat
sass.bat
sass-convert.bat
scss.bat
sprockets.bat
sqlite3_ruby.bat
thor.bat
tilt.bat

has this been updated in the executables yet or do we still need to do this?

thanks.

[Avy Ferguson]

I think it still has to be done. not sure, but a quick peek will tell you. Happy coding!

I'm having the same kind of problem

I am new to Ruby on Rails and just installed RailsInstaller on my Windows 7, but when i do this, the program shows the following: 

C:\Sites>rails new myrubyblog

The system cannot find the path specified.                       

Please fix the problem.

Hola, 

En mi caso tuve que añadir el % después del igual 

@ECHO OFF

IF NOT "%~f0" == "%~f0" GOTO :WinNT

@"ruby.exe" "rails" %1 %2 %3 %4 %5 %6 %7 %8 %9

GOTO :EOF

:WinNT

@"ruby.exe" "%~dpn0" %

Tambien estoy revisando todos los ficheros .bat

@Avy, Can you define "the file"? Which file(s) need to be changed and relative paths to them? Is the code above simply appended to the file, or is it replacing something? Also, can you post a link to the other thread that pertains to this? Thanks

Hi I'm new to ruby on rails (new to ruby altogether)
I tried the package install and had the same issue....but I solve it by simply running 

gem install rails       //Boom! I was extremely happy. Definitely faster than to alter every of the files mentioned in previous post.

Hope this solves the issue for everyone.

Mike's solution to reinstall Rails package worked for me. It placed all the exe in to the directories that was empty previously.
