Answer 1

Here is what worked for me:

modified line 70 of registry.rb (in your ruby installation folder).

Change this line:

LOCALE = Encoding.find(Encoding.locale_charmap)

to this one:

LOCALE = Encoding::UTF_8

Answer 2

to resolve this problem you have to install an old version of ruby and delete the latest versions on your pc i think there is an error on the latest version,look for this version and download it 1.8.7

Answer 3

Open up a command prompt and type:

chcp 1252

Then run the installer again:

gem install sass

Unfortunately there's a known issue in some versions of Ruby regarding this. See here
