Running rspec --help fails on Windows #462

I tried to use rspec on a simple Hello project (not a Rails project) from RSpec Book by Pragmatic Programmers on a Windows machine. After installing the gem and its dependencies, it seems like 'rspec' command is unknown. Here is the gem list:

Running the rspec --help gives the below error (sorry , the OS is in French, so I translated it in English to be more clear):

C:\Documents and Settings\20003018\workspace\ruby_bdd>rspec --help
'rspec' n'est pas reconnu en tant que commande interne
ou externe, un programme exécutable ou un fichier de commandes.

Translated as:

rspec is unknown command neither as external nor as internal one nor executable programme or command file

I'm on Ruby 1.9.2, (ruby 1.9.2p290 (2011-07-09) [i386-mingw32].

Multiple googling gave nothing, unfortunately. Any idea how to fix it Thanks

I know that this is an old post, but.. this isn't really an issue. Just create a document in any folder in your PATH (%windir% is one of them) with the following content and you're good to go.

@nieckarz:Thank you for the link, I'll try it; For the moment it works even without your modifications.
