Here are the steps to install the Rails environment on a Windows box:
- DO NOT use the rails Installer !
- download and install Ruby with RubyInstaller as explained here:http://rubyinstaller.org/
- check the installed Ruby version by running ruby -v in your command prompt( run Start-Run-cmd)
- download and install DevKit as explained at http://rubyinstaller.org/add-ons/devkit/ to enable the build of C-based extension gems
- check the installation of DevKit as explained here: https://github.com/oneclick/rubyinstaller/wiki/Development-Kit#building-the-devkit
- install rails and related gems by running in your terminal (command prompt) gem install rails. This will take some time.
- finally check the installed Rails version by running rails -v in your terminal.

That's as easy as it is.
If you have some proxy related issues, come back or (better) post it to another thread.
Hope this helps.
