Constant Error Running Ruby on Rails on Windows 8 - ruby-on-rails

Question

I've almost pulled out all the remaining hair on my bald head. I've been tinkering with Ruby on Rails on Windows 7 and it works great. I use RailsInstaller 2.2.1 and AptanaStudio3 as my IDE on Windows 7 64bits.
However, going through similar process, I installed these two tools on my 64bit Windows 8 and all hell as been let loose for the past 3 days. RoR projects that run flawlessly on the win 7 do not run on Win 8 with Ruby 1.9.3 p392 and Rails 3.2.13.
Anytime I run launch the server with:
$ rails s
←[31mCould not find rake-10.1.0 in any of the sources←[0m
←[33mRun `bundle install` to install missing gems.←[0m
And
$ bundle install
gives:
$ bundle install
Unfortunately, a fatal error has occurred. Please see the Bundler
troubleshooting documentation at http://bit.ly/bundler-issues. Thanks!

I've uninstalled and re-installed countless times but no solution. I'm considering installing virtual machine with Win 7 since it works smoothly on Win7. But that means installing another OS.... I'd like to know if others have had success with RoR on Windows 8.
Thanks

Answer 1

I myself tried using RoR on Windows 8 and could not find a solution to the issues I was running into. My suggestion is to keep with Windows 7, wait a little longer until Windows 8's bugs are sorted out.

Answer 2

I'm running rails on Win8 just fine. I checked my rake version, and it is indeed 10.1.0. Try doing gem uninstall rake, and then gem install rake --version 10.1.0. Then try bundler again.
I ran into something similar what I cloned the app I was developing on win8 onto a win 7 machine. The gemfile.lock from win8 was specifying a version of rake that win7 didn't like.
PS: I sympathize with the hair thing. Not much left here either. Hard to "get a grip" some days :-)
