What version of Ruby? from where did you download the packages? (a
nice "ruby -v" of the output will help)

What do you mean by this?

Do you cd into your script directory and want to call it "script.rb"
and it work?

If so, check RubyInstaller settings when installing like
"associated .rb with Ruby" and "Add Ruby to the PATH"

On NetBeans you need to indicate where it will find the interpreters.
Everything looks like you haven't installed a Ruby version that is
available in the PATH and therefore, NetBeans couldn't find it.

See the Tools/Ruby platforms menu and look for your Ruby installation
executable.
