Cannot install thin on windows
Solution 1:
Installing from the git or rubygems repositories no longer works (currently) under 1.9.2 or 1.9.3 (confirmed still broken on 2012-June-22). Instead, you need to simply:
gem install eventmachine --pre
gem install thin
Note that on 2012-June-18 the current prerelease was renamed to 1.0.0.rc.1, so there is a possibility that 'soon' the version that works with Windows will become the official release and this will no longer be a problem.
If you try to build the gem under 1.9.2 from the github repo you may see this (included for search engine hits):
C:\eventmachine> rake build (in C:/eventmachine) cd ext C:/Ruby/bin/ruby.exe extconf.rb checking for rb_trap_immediate in ruby.h,rubysig.h... *** extconf.rb failed *** Could not create Makefile due to some reason, probably lack of necessary libraries and/or headers. Check the mkmf.log file for more details.
If you try to install the gem under 1.9.3 from the rubygems repo you may see this (included for search engine hits):

Gem files will remain installed in C:/Ruby193/lib/ruby/gems/1.9.1/gems/eventmachine-0.12.10 for inspection.

Solution 2:
First, install the DevKit from the RubyInstaller for Windows website (which it appears you have already done).
Then install eventmachine separately from the git repository as Roger shows.

You should then be able to install thin from the gem.

Thin web server (v1.2.7 codename No Hup)

Listening on 0.0.0.0:3000, CTRL+C to stop
Solution 3:
Try the running the following
gem install thin –ignore-dependencies
If it fails retry installing rack and eventmachine and then re-running the above command.
gem install rack
gem install eventmachine -l
gem install thin –ignore-dependencies
Solution 4:
This will help you...
Add this below line to your gem file
gem 'eventmachine', :git => 'https://github.com/eventmachine/eventmachine.git'
then run bundle install
Solution 5:
This might help:
$ gem install specific_install
$ gem specific_install -l http://github.com/eventmachine/eventmachine.git
