I also tried copying the entire gems folder from the machine where ruby+watir was installed, onto the VM client machine. Then tried executing the watir script, but it failed to execute.
Let me try installing the gems one by one, after downloading the gems. --- On Wed, 4/2/09, Natasha Ranney <[email protected]> wrote: From: Natasha Ranney <[email protected]> Subject: [wtr-general] Re: Unable to install WATIR on VM client machine To: [email protected] Date: Wednesday, 4 February, 2009, 10:50 PM 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.

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.
