run bundle install
The dependency tzinfo-data (>= 0) will be unused by any of the platforms Bundler is installing for. Bundler is installing for ruby but the dependency is only for x86-mingw32, x86-mswin32, x64-mingw32, java. To add those platforms to the bundle, run bundle lock --add-platform x86-mingw32 x86-mswin32 x64-mingw32 java.

Unable to find a spec satisfying tzinfo-data (>= 0) in the set. Perhaps the lockfile is corrupted?

I follow as suggested above:
bundle lock --add-platform x86-mingw32 x86-mswin32 x64-mingw32 java

Then:
bundle install

All seems well.

It's not a real solution, but using rails on windows makes me so crazy when i tried to install it. Try AWS C9 or another cloud development platform if you are on windows, it changes life...
