Answer 1

The problem seems to be with your version of rake - from the RedmineInstall requirements section:

Rake 0.8.7 is required (rake 0.9.x is not supported by Rails yet)

You'll need to uninstall the currently installed version of rake:

gem uninstall -v=0.9.2 rake

(answer y)

and install an older version:

gem install -v=0.8.7 rake

Answer 2

If you get stuck installing Redmine "by hand" on Windows, try BitNami Redmine Stack (contains Redmine plus all required dependencies, in one single Windows installer).

I didn't manage to install Redmine manually either, so I used the BitNami installer, and it just worked, without any problems.
