Uinstall ruby and reinstall chef-client, chef comes with its own ruby included and it clashes sometimes with system ruby depending on your path values and order.

If you need a system ruby, create wrapper files to cmd which set the correct path for ruby or chef

Hello All,
 
I’m considering using Chef to manage our AWS infrastructure. I am trying to set my Windows 7 desktop up as an administration workstation. I’ve installed the client msi a few times but continue to get the same problem, knife –version is giving a dependency error.  I’ve given details of my system and the steps I’ve followed below.
 
Any help would be appreciated.
 
Thanks
 
Evan R.

I’ve installed
ruby - 2.1.3p242 (2014-09-19 revision 47630) [i386-mingw32]
rails - Rails 4.1.6
Chef - chef-windows-11.16.2-1.windows.msi
chef-starter.zip – unzipped it to C:\users\eroberts\chef-repo
 
When I start a command window with or without admin rights then:
 
C:\Users\eroberts>cd chef-repo
C:\Users\eroberts\chef-repo>knife --version
C:/Ruby21/lib/ruby/2.1.0/rubygems/dependency.rb:298:in `to_specs': Could not find 'chef' (>= 0) among 34 total gem(s) (Gem::LoadError)

        from C:/opscode/chef/bin/knife:22:in `<main>'
 
I thought I missed loading the chef gem, so I ran:
 
C:\Users\eroberts\chef-repo>gem install chef
<stuff deleted>
 
And tried again:
 
C:\Users\eroberts\chef-repo>knife --version
