I can't seem to install an earlier version of bcrypt-ruby.
Any idea why?

You're on Windows and using Ruby 2.3.0 — bcrypt-ruby 3.0.0 does not include pre-compiled binaries for Windows + Ruby 2.3.0, hence the error messages you're getting.
If (and only if) you have the DevKit installed, you should be able to do this by adding
--platform=rubyto your command. So:Use AppVeyor for testing Windows gem installs
