How do I install RVM on Windows 7?

It says to install RVM, and use the following script:

user$ bash -s stable < <(curl -s https://raw.github.com/wayneeseguin/rvm/master/binscripts/rvm-installer )

But I have no idea what to do with it. If I type it into cmd an error message comes up saying it was 'unexpected at this time'.

What do I do to install RVM?

No RVM for you! From RVM’s FAQ:

Does RVM work on windows? Will it in the future?

NO. If you would like to manage multiple versions of ruby on windows please use pik which is an excellent tool by Gordon Thiesfeld. You can find it on GitHub. There are plans to include windows support in RVM 2.0.
