Installing Ruby for OpenStudio v1.3.0

The release notes for OS v1.3.0 specify that to run measures from the command line all that you need to do is download the Ruby zip folder and add the installed path to the computers PATH. However, when I download the zip file there is no installer within the extracted folder. I also looked at downloading 1.8.6 from the rubyinstaller site directly, however, the links are no longer functioning. Am I wrong in assuming there should be a .exe to complete the installation?

I am running OS v1.3.0 on Windows XP (not my choice . . . .so upgrading to a newer version is not an option)

Any and all help is greatly appreciated!
