I get "Certificate Verify Failed" on installing Bundler for Ruby on Rails, on Windows 7. Ruby 1.9.3

I've tried everything what I understood in my short knowladge of Programming.

When I enter "bundler install" I get "Certificate Verify Failed" (I've checked the certificate, it's updated) Then it ends up with "Make sure "gem install [gem's name] -v [version] succeds before bundling."

So I decided to install Gem-per-Gem, instead of trying to solve they certificate issue.

Will this work or I'm just wasting my time?

Found it!

Most importantly...download https://raw.githubusercontent.com/rubygems/rubygems/master/lib/rubygems/ssl_certs/AddTrustExternalCARoot-2048.pem

Figure out where to stick it

C:\>gem which rubygems
C:/Ruby21/lib/ruby/2.1.0/rubygems.rb

Then just copy the .pem file in ../2.1.0/rubygems/ssl_certs/ and go on about your business.
