Rails install 'Bundle' throws up error message

Question

I've just tried installing Ruby on Rails via the RailsInstaller for Windows. All went absolutely fine, until I tried creating my first app. Basically I run

rails new 'first_app'

and it creates all the appropriate files but throws up this error message when trying to run 'bundle install'

I've tried re-installing but it still pulls up that error.

The relevant error message here is 193: %1 is not a valid Win32 application.

Checkout this answer for a previous question about the same; it explains why the problem happens, and provides suggestions as to how to fix it.

The person who provided the answer - Luis Lavena - has worked extensively to make ruby work well on windows, and is the creator of Ruby Installer for Windows.
