I'd probably recommend the one click installer of version 1.8.6, just to
get you started. If you *really* want to go down the hard path then you
could download and install the one click installer then "replace" the
ruby.exe within it with the 1.8.7 version--i've never tried it but it
might work.
If you'd like to compile it yourself I'd suggest re posting your
question to the rubyinstaller mailing list.
Cheers!
