The files you download are the source code, you'll have to compile it to have it available as a binary on your machine. Not sure how that squares with InstantRails, though. You might want to look at RailsInstaller from Engine Yard, which I gather is the latest thing for Windows + Rails. Someone else with experience using Posix software on Windows can probably point out my errors and what you should do.
