See http://www.therealvan.com/pn/?p=186 for installing: Rails 3.0.3 & MySQL on Windows 7.
After installing those, and once work begins, chances are an IDE w/ line-debugging capabilities are needed.
Aptana Studio 3 seems to be the best (free) IDE right now:
http://www.aptana.com/products/studio3/download.html
But to get that working fully for debugging, a gem needs to be installed:
gem install ruby-debug-ide
Otherwise, the “Debug Server” option will frustratingly do nothing in the IDE.
More Rails stuff.
I was using command line & vim to do some Rails stuff until fingers got tired of switching between files.
So I did a some searches and came up with a short list of IDEs for Rails and tried installing Aptana (currently 3.4.2).
As expected, problems came up despite having:
The error in the Console was:

The main problem is: 9632: Exception in DebugThread loop: wrong number of arguments (0 for 1)
Did some search and turned out I HAD to remove the ruby-debug gem from my app’s Gemfile:
# To use debugger (ruby-debug for Ruby 1.8.7+, ruby-debug19 for Ruby 1.9.2+)
# gem ‘ruby-debug’
# gem ‘ruby-debug19’
After commenting out that line above, reran bundle-install on the app, the debugger was working fine.
Install Ruby 1.8.7 by going to: http://rubyinstaller.org/downloads/
Install Rails 3.0.3 by: gem install rails -v 3.0.3
Latest MySQL: http://dev.mysql.com/downloads/mysql/
mysql2 GEM:
gem install mysql2 -v '0.2.22' -- --with-mysql-dir="c:devtoolsmysql-connector-c-6.1.3-win32" (Use whatever path you unzipped the connector above.)Go to the Rails app and modify the GemFile:
... gem 'mysql2', '0.2.22' ...
Run: bundle install
Copy c:devtoolsmysql-connector-c-6.1.3-win32liblibmysql.dll to %RUBY_HOME%bin
