Using the 1.8.7-p302 on Windows 7 x86, running ruby-warrior after extracting doesn't work out of the box.
The issue here is that the script to run ruby is the same name as the directory in which the player files are stored. Changing the 'rubywarrior' file in /bin/ to 'rubywarrior.rb' solves this on windows and it can run normally.
