C:\>"c:\ruby\bin\ruby.exe" "c:\ruby\bin\gem" install rails --include-dependenc
s
ERROR: While executing gem ... (OptionParser::InvalidOption)

use the `-y` switch instead, it's much shorter too...

C:\> cd ruby\bin
C:\> ruby gem.rb install rails -y

you could always run `ruby gem --help` to see the switches. They may have done away with that switch, it always seemed stupid that they didn't include dependencies by default, although my gem version was downloaded under 3 weeks ago.
