I ended up doing this, the error is gone! I feel RailsInstaller need to come up with a solutions or else beginners like me will all have to face this nightmare if they are using windows

ExecJS::RuntimeError on Windows trying to follow rubytutorial

1) Removing //= require_tree . / Ignoring the issue - As ColinR stated above, this line should not be causing an issue in the first place. There is an actual problem with ExecJS working properly with the JavaScript runtime on your system and removing this line is just ignoring that fact.
