[wtr-general] Re: ERROR installing watir
Dang, can't take my own advice =) I've created an MSI based on Windows XP SP2 with Ruby 1.8.6 and Watir 1.5.6 here: http://justaddwatir.com/watir/wp-content/uploads/watir_156.msi Feel free to try it out, no guarantees of course ... There is also some brief instructions for use here: http://justaddwatir.com/watir/q-how-do-i-install-watir-standalone/ Regards, Tim Koopmans --~--~-~--~~~---~--~~ You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "Watir General" group.

[wtr-general] Re: ERROR installing watir
Indeed, it's a chicken and egg scenario =) I used to package applications into MSIs; I've often thought about rolling my own msi to take from site to site, as the organizations I work in rarely have unauthenticated access to the internet. However doing it via a batch file works well for me. An MSI would just introduce version problems if watir (or its dependencies) are regularly updated. Would still consider doing this though if it's a common problem to the community ...

I've found that the gem installer works much better if you do a "gem update --system". Unfortunately this can be hard to do also (for the same reasons). On one occassion, I did this update on a machine that did not have connection problems, then I copied the entire ruby directory to my other machines. After that, the gem installer worked great.

This happens to me a lot. Try installing from gem files downloaded manually. There's some instructions on how to do this here: http://justaddwatir.com/watir/q-how-do-i-gem-install-watir-behind-a-proxy-server/ Check out the comments section for recent example.

Here is some information here about installing Watir from behind a proxy. http://wiki.openqa.org/display/WTR/Installing+ruby+gems+from+behind+proxy+firewall Watir now depends on several other gems, so it will be complicated to try and download and install them them all locally. You will need to find out how to make the Proxy install work. Thousands of other users have been able to get this to work, so please be persistent. This is a general feature of the Ruby Gem system, and not Watir specific.

Hi, Try downloading the gem from this page and installing it locally: http://wiki.openqa.org/display/WTR/Development+Builds # Download the gem. # Open a command window. # cd to the directory where you downloaded the gem. # type gem install --local watir Cheers, Alister On Oct 7, 2:55 am, ran_watir <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> wrote: > I have been perusing the discussion lists to find something related to > problems installing watir on Windows.
