Vagrant and Windows 64-Bit 
Install JDK 64bit: Java SE downloads page.
Install JRuby 64bit: JRuby downloads page


jgem install jruby-openssl jruby-win32ole
jgem install vagrant
>jgem install vagrant
ERROR:  While executing gem ... (Gem::DependencyError)
    Unable to resolve dependencies: virtualbox requires ffi (~> 1.0.9)

jgem install ffi
Optional:
https://github.com/vertiginous/pik/ 
jgem install pik
pik install c:/opt/pik
add c:/opt/pik to PATH
pik install c:/opt/jruby-1.6.5.1/bin
pik install c:/opt/Ruby192/bin

$ vagrant box add base http://files.vagrantup.com/lucid32.box

$ vagrant init
$ vagrant up
$ vagrant ssh

`vagrant ssh` isn't available on the Windows platform. The
vagrant.ppk file for use with Putty is available at:  c:/opt/jruby-1.6.5.1/lib/ruby/gems/1.8/gems/vagrant-0.8.10/keys/vagrant.ppk

To use this create a new Putty session for `vagrant@localhost` on port `2222`, in the Connection>SSH>Auth configuration section navigate to the vagrant.ppk file, select it, save the session for later use, and connect.
For a more detailed guide please consult:  http://vagrantup.com/docs/getting-started/setup/windows.html

vagrant/vagrant

pik gem install veewee

Can use VRDP to connect to the VM from a non-host machine via RDP: http://www.virtualbox.org/manual/ch07.html and http://itknowledgeexchange.techtarget.com/server-virtualization/using-vrdp-to-view-virtualbox-virtual-machines-remotely/
To enable, VirtualBox -> Settings -> Display -> RemoteDisplay (use Guest mode - The null method is a no-security model in that any VRDP connection will be accepted, and this configuration is documented by Sun as being designed for a testing and private network only configuration)
