Ruby error with Windows

Hi guys, I'm running Ruby on both Ubuntu and Windows 8. I rebooted in Windows 8, and I'm trying to set-up the Treebook Ruby Project, but it's giving me difficulty. When I migrate the db, and run the "rails server" I get this error when I go to localhost:3000/statuses

ExecJS::RuntimeError in Statuses#index Showing C:/Sites/treebook/app/views/layouts/application.html.erb where line #6 raised:

It's a page with alot of random debug information in it. Any ideas on how to fix it? Thanks! Eddie

I had the same problem, I searched online and found this page: https://groups.google.com/forum/?fromgroups=#!topic/railsinstaller/P2pBYN-NnTE This helped me figure out why I was getting the same error that you are getting.

@Eddie -

The ExecJS error is related to conflict between JavaScript and Asset Pipeline. Try installing Node from http://nodejs.org/ and see if that fixes it.
