I know there are several related posts, I have tried several solutions.
I have reviewed and tried soulutions from:
Cannot install Puma gem on Ruby on Rails, puma issues 202 on github, puma issues 424 on github, and hicknhack-software/rails-disco/wiki/Installing-puma-on-windows and a few other sources, I cannot post full links because I have no rep.
I am aware of the need to download openssl and reference it in the gem install command. I have downloaded and tried with various versions of openssl, the last one I used is 1040064 openssl-1.0.2a-i386-win32.zip from http://indy.fulgan.com/SSL/
I am running:
version of ruby = ruby 2.0.0p598 (2014-11-13) [i386-mingw32]
version of rails = 4.1.8
Windows 7, 64 bit
