Python? Really? There's nothing you need to do after running the installer. It sets up the path and everything. Most of the popular python libraries that require a binary component have windows installers as well.

Ruby is a bit more understandable, if you don't get DevKit (or if DevKit can't compile something) working with gems can be frustrating. And setting up Git on Windows with an SSH key has been awful in the past.

RailsInstaller takes a lot of the pain out of setup, though.
