I have tried copy the gem that Watir wants, Activesupport. copied C:\ruby\lib\ruby\gems\1.8\gems\activesupport-2.2.2 to the VM machine. Ruby is already installed on that machine.
After copying the gem, I also set the path on VM machine, as shown below: ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------ C:\Installables>echo %PATH% c:\ruby\bin;C:\WINDOWS\system32;C:\WINDOWS;C:\WINDOWS\System32\Wbem;C:\ruby\lib\ ruby\gems\1.8\gems\ C:\Installables>gem install -l watir ERROR: While executing gem ...

I guy I used to work with wanted to check the whole ruby tree in to svn along with a batch file to set the env vars so it was really easy to set up a new machine.
