Using this http://stackoverflow.com/questions/849660/how-to-stop-the-gem-utility-from-accessing-my-home-directory as a base, I manage to make it work. My gem.bat looks like this now: @ECHO OFF SET _HOMEPATH=%HOMEPATH% SET HOMEPATH=\Ruby IF NOT "%~f0" == "~f0" GOTO :WinNT @"ruby.exe" "C:\Ruby\bin\gem" %1 %2 %3 %4 %5 %6 %7 %8 %9 GOTO :EOF :WinNT @"ruby.exe" "%~dpn0" %* :EOF SET HOMEPATH=%_HOMEPATH% Although I'm now wondering if there will be any unexpected consequence of having the .gem directory inside the ruby directory (C:\Ruby) and not where it used to be (C:\Users\Jesús Dugarte).
