On my Windows 7 installation (fully updated), I can't install any
gems, with both 1.8.7 RC2 and 1.9.1 RC2 versions of rubyinstaller.
Both are installed at C:/Ruby and C:/Ruby19, respectively.
Here is the the debug output when installing e.g. rails:

Apparently, the error comes from FileUtils#mkdir_p, specifically these
lines:
stack.reverse_each do |dir|
begin
fu_mkdir dir, options[:mode]
rescue SystemCallError => err
raise unless File.directory?(dir)
end
end
The Errno::EEXIST error gets raised by the fu_mkdir call and then gets
re-raised because File.directory("C:/") returns false, which it should
not, because obviously the directory exists.
Playing around in irb, I found this very weird behaviour:
irb(main):002:0> File.stat("C:")
=> #<File::Stat dev=0x2, ino=0, mode=040755, nlink=1, uid=0, gid=0,
rdev=0x2, si
ze=0, blksize=nil, blocks=nil, atime=2010-03-28 13:42:02 +0100,
mtime=2010-03-28
13:42:02 +0100, ctime=2009-12-17 13:09:59 +0100>
irb(main):003:0> File.stat("C:/")
Errno::EACCES: Permission denied - C:/
from (irb):3:in `stat'
from (irb):3
from C:/Ruby19/bin/irb:12:in `<main>'
irb(main):004:0> File.stat("C:\\")
Errno::EACCES: Permission denied - C:\
from (irb):4:in `stat'
from (irb):4
from C:/Ruby19/bin/irb:12:in `<main>'
irb(main):005:0> File.directory?("C:/")
=> false
irb(main):006:0> File.directory?("C:")
=> true
So the problem is, that I have no permission to access C:/, but I can
access C: perfectly fine. As FileUtils.mkdir_p uses C:/ and not C:,
things break.
Additionally, here is the icacls output for C:/ and C:
C:\Users\schreiar.EMEA>icacls C:\

I'm pretty sure this has worked before, I suspect that some windows
update has borked my permissions. :(
Running gem install with administrator privileges works perfectly fine
and is kind of a workaround for me now.
Any idea what's wrong here?
Questions:
- Did you upgrade from Windows Vista?
- Did you installed Ruby as Administrator or with administrators rights?
If you answer yes to upgrade from Windows Vista, there is a permission
issue over the NTFS that is a problem. Check the group for related
issue.
IF you answer yes to the second question, then is a permission issue
over the folder.
Please take in consideration that icacls will tell you the permissions
you have, but not that if you need elevation to actually use them.
Similar issue was raised in the group, please search for it and let us
know if that helped or not.

If you didn't format, it might be a leftover incorrect permission in the FS.

Since the problem seems stat, can you "File.stat" some of the Ruby
folders, and include your home and temporary directory?
Would like to know what "gem env" outputs and stat %USERPROFILE%/.gem
or whatever is set in your environment.
No, I'm running a fresh installation of Windows 7 32-bit Enterprise
Edition.
> - Did you installed Ruby as Administrator or with administrators rights?
No, and I also tried both, installer and zip package.

As I said, the same ruby installation was working perfectly fine some
weeks ago, and I can't remember having changed any permissions
manually.
Maybe this problem is only coming up in 32-bit versions of Windows 7,
as you seem to have no problems with your 64-bit installation.
Today I found out that this bug is apparently not ruby specific, but
is appearing in other applications as well! E.g. when I'm browsing for
a specific file in Eclipse (which I do not run with admin privileges),
I can't explore the C: root directory - but I can open any file when
directly specifying it's path!
File.stat works for all kinds of files and folders, both in the Ruby
installation and for different folders on my C: drive, only
File.stat('C:/') is failing with a permission denied folder.

Going to install a clean copy of Windows 7 32bits in a VM and keep you posted.
Apologizes I cannot provide you a workaround to this situation

Ok, I've:
* Installed Windows 7 Ultimate 32bits inside VirtualBox
* Downloaded latest security updates and restarted
* Installed RubyInstaller 1.8.7 RC2 into C:\Ruby187, no PATH modification
* I've installed with success rake:
Doing "gem install rails --debug" right now, and all the RDoc output
is making me dizzy.
Is there something that you recently installed? changed? Driver,
antivirus, anything?

That could mean that Ruby or Ruby folder installation was done under
Administrative rights.
Can you install, with the current UAC level you have and not elevation
into a new folder?

Please don't. My test was done without touching any UAC setting,
meaning was the default one. It worked.
That means something else is in the middle that is not related to UAC
or RubyInstaller.
On my Windows x64 I have UAC in High, meaning it prompts me every time
I do a change on system settings or ProgramFiles / Windows folders.
Meaning: quite rarely, since I don't mess with that (except for
program installation)
Please try a new installation into an non existing folder and try
installing gems in it.
File.stat or File.directory? is not he issue, it might be another
permission thing that is in the middle.
Thank you.

Interesting.
In my latest 32bits testing I tried a clean RTM version of Windows 7,
and before i had a RC of 64bits, never 32bits.

Since you updated from Beta to RC and then RTM, that means that the
permission issue might come along with you.
Well, please take a look to the workaround, that will fix the C:\ and
from there, you can go to Ruby187 folder and make it reuse the
inherited permissions.
Try the manual path as the tool will not install if is not RC version.
Please keep us posted.
A simple workaround is to start a cmd.exe window with Run as
administrator and run the gem commands from that window. (Just like
Mac and Linux users do "sudo gem").

On Mar 28, 2:57 pm, "schreiber.art...@googlemail.com"
Thank you Johannes for your answer.
However, that is far from ideal.
If you installed Ruby without Admin permissions, you should be able to
install gems without them too.
Please see the other responses on this and specially Will Green findings:
http://groups.google.com/group/rubyinstaller/msg/f9cbd4312d49cdf3

RubyGems is catching them and showing in the output, but is safe to
assume is not a problem.
The problem is in the cases where RubyGem IS NOT catching the
exception, and that is when things fail, like happen to you and Will.
It is beyond my expertise deal with NTFS ACLs. Please accept my
apologies for the issues you're experiencing.
Can you try something one last time?

Rubygems catches the Errno::EEXIST error, then tests whether the C:/
directory exists, which returns false (because of the missing
permissions) and causes Rubygems to re-raise the Errno::EEXIST error,
causing the gem install command to fail.
This is _not_ a ruby specific issue, (at least on my machine) I see
this issue with other software applications too (e.g. Eclipse and Git
expose all kinds of weird permission problems, but e texteditor does
not), when they try to access the C:/ root folder directly!
I'm running a clean Win7 32-bit install, so it's not an upgrade issue,
either.
Other software I have installed is Cygwin, not sure whether that has
broken my permissions.
Did you formatted your harddrive? I mean, is a real clean install?

I don't think so, but since I cannot replicate is even more harder to

Can you remove all the dot files form your HOME (%USERPROFILE%) folder?
Also, do gem installation outside cygwin bash prompt, never inside.

Can you try installing without elevation of user into a different

It is weird that all the reports are coming from 7 ultimate in 32 bits mode.
Might I ask if those are legal copies?
I've tried to replicate on a
clean installation, using ultimate 32bits and couldn't reproduce.
It might be something interfering.
Can you please provide us the following in a pastie/gist:
