gem install rabl fails on windows

[saravanabalagi]

Adding to gemfile failed and hence I tried gem install rabl. It fails with the following error message, looks like its OS specific... I'm on Windows 7 and using Rails 5 on Ruby 2.2

Same here, solution I found was to go back to v 0.13.0 for the moment This bug is only on 0.13.1

ruby -v : ruby 2.2.5p319 (2016-04-26 revision 54774) [i386-mingw32] gem -v : 2.6.4 rails -v : Rails 4.2.7.1 bundler -v : Bundler version 1.14.4****

I downgraded like @yoyos mentioned to v0.13.0 and bundled installed with CMD running as administrator. Not sure which fixed it, but it worked!

Running 0.13.1 as administrator worked for me
