can you check and see if you have it installed already? try running 

> bundle -v

and see if it spits out a version number.

also verify ruby installed correctly as well

> ruby -v

I have ruby installed but bundle didn't work. It may be a windows 7 issue.

I re did all the steps on my windows 8 laptop and it worked fine so I will just continue the lesson on that laptop.

Thanks for your reply!
