You use a Tkinter gui. Ruby installs environment variables for the tk
path (I think they're called something like RUBY_TKPATH. Remove them.
Reboot. Then everything should be working again. (Since I've removed
them already, I'm not 100% sure what they were called.)

Its a problem of rubys (un)installer, really.
