[wtr-general] Re: Watir Install/Basic Error, It doesn't launch browser
I found the answer. With the new version I need to use
ie=Watir::IE.new not include Watir.

I installed RC2 Ruby and Watir.
ruby 1.8.6 (2008-08-11 patchlevel 287) [i386-mswin32]
While running gem install watir got this error:

Overall I thought it installed.
