I think you need to do more than that. The problem seems to be that there bad versions of these gems out there, and that they were fixed without changing the version number. So the gem installer won't update your gem.
The solution, therefore, would be uninstall these gems and then reinstall them. Bret Charley Baker wrote: > It seems there are some compatibility issues here with some of the > win32utils.
