I'm seeing this as well. I set the install path to C:\metasploit and it installed in D:\metasploit-framework.

metasploit v5.0.67-dev-cd566846dd13143f283f1f1b713debd30d31d761

Same issue here ,any news?

@k3d4ns Not yet. I instaled Linux instead.It comes with Metasploit Pre-installed!😊😊😁

Solved this way :

It's a warning line in file (Win32API.rb)

Open your metasploit install directory and search for the file (Win32API.rb)
i'm writing from my phone so i can't give you the full file path

Now edit the file with any editor (np++, vscode..) and you'll fine a warning command before the require command
Like this:
warn "Win32API is deprecated after Ruby 1.9.1; use fiddle directly instead", uplevel: 2
Put # before (warn) to turn it into a comment line instead of a warning command line
So it'll be like that :

warn "Win32API is deprecated after Ruby 1.9.1; use fiddle directly instead", uplevel: 2

Save and try again
The file is here :
https://github.com/ruby/ruby/blob/master/ext/win32/lib/Win32API.rb

@k3d4ns Commenting out an issue instead of fixing it is terrible practice...

[Codeneer69]

Just comment out the line: warn "Win32API is deprecated after Ruby 1.9.1; use fiddle directly instead", uplevel: 2 in Win32API.rb file
