How do I install sqlite3 on Windows, no really!?

[Just Another Victim of the Ambient Morality]

Before someone comes in and says "this has been covered before," I know
people _think_ that it has been covered before but that isn't helping me
now. People have been saying that all you have to do is use the previous
version like so:

gem install sqlite3-ruby -v=1.2.3

...however, this isn't working for me. The error I get... is exactly
the same error you would get if you didn't bother specifying a version
number. It looks like this is not the right syntax since it tries to
install 1.2.4. However, I can't for the life of me figure out what the
correct syntax for this command is 'cause every combination I've tried does
exactly the same thing!
So, how do I install this crazy thing on Windows, no really?!
Thank you...

You might need -v=1.2.3 --platform=mswin32 (?)

I figured it out!
I coincidentally had an sqlite3-ruby-1.2.4.gem file in the working
directory so gem must have been loading it regardless of what version I
specified. Interesting...

You without providing more information about your ruby environment is
not helping us help you.

running "gem env" or at least tell the Windows version, the version of
ruby or *something* to help you.

Anyhow, and even you don't like it, this has been covered in the list,
Google is your friend and you could get results form ruby-talk and
stack overflow about this issue.

You just need to start providing more information than "it just
fails". That is like going to a doctor and saying "it hurts", without
giving more details.
