Parsing xlsx file using 'roo' gem, Load Error: can not load zip/zipfilesystem

Question

On Ubuntu machine, following code works fine,

My HTML code, here am passing xslx file for parsing,

<form method="post" action="/home/parse_xlsx" enctype="multipart/form-data">
   Upload XSLX File <input type="file" name="xlsx_file" id="xlsx_file"  />
   <input type="submit" value="Post"/>
</form>

My controller method,

def parse_xlsx
      xlsxFile = params[:xlsx_file]
      prefix_tmp_path = xlsxFile.path
      filename = xlsxFile.original_filename

      directory = "public/"
      path = File.join(directory, filename)
      File.open(path, "wb") { |f| f.write(xlsxFile.read) }

      require 'roo'
      s = Roo::Excelx.new(path)
      for i in 2..s.count
       puts s.cell(i,1) 
      end
  end

But on windows machine it gives me following error. 'rubyzip' gem is also included.

Load Error: can not load zip/zipfilesystem

Please suggest some solution..
