in `bin_path': can't find executable rake for rake-0.8.7的解决方案

Well after a long time, I finally had to shift back to ROR development on Windows. I am running on Windows Vista, Rails 3, ruby 1.9.2. Things are not all that bad on windows, or at least, not as much as I thought they might be. But, we definitely keep on facing problems here and there. There is one such which you also might face if you try development on Rails 3 with ruby 1.9.2. There seems to be a bug with the gems that are installed with the one click windows ruby installer. I am not sure why, but you may lead to see the following error message once you start using rake:

`bin_path’: can’t find executable rake for rake-0.8.7 (Gem::Exception)

Now the solution to get away from this bug as of this writing is that you will have to remove the rake.gemspec file from the “your_path_to\Ruby192\lib\ruby\gems\1.9.1\specifications” folder.

And you are good to go now. I do not have really too much time to dig into the matter as to why this might be happening, but i worked for me.
