Rails on XAMPP automated setup (RoX)

This post will be in English because I know that there are people seeking in google how ruby on rails can be installed over xampp in Windows.

So, I came across various websites giving instructions of how this installation can be done. I must confess though, that this wasn't easy. The installation gave me a headache, especially the mysql installation. You think that a "gem mysql2 install" will work huh? Well think again...

Anyway, I made an easy 1-click installer (a batch file and a sfx archive can do the job) in order to help anyone who wants to "play" with rails on Windows with the convinient use of xampp. Its name is RoX (Rails On Xampp). Yeah I know, the name is like the coolest ever....
