Alan, You are seeing a problem that we also saw with Watir 1.6.5RC1. We fixed it in the first 1.6.5 by changing the way watir does dependencies.
Here are the dependencies for Watir 1.6.2 C:\work\common_ground>gem dependency watir Gem watir-1.6.2 win32-process (>= 0.5.5, runtime) windows-pr (>= 0.6.6, runtime) activesupport (>= 0, runtime) commonwatir (= 1.6.2, runtime) firewatir (>= 0, runtime) The problem is that Watir 1.6.2 will use FireWatir 1.6.5, which runs into a conflict with the common watir gem. My thought at the moment is that we should release a Watir 1.6.3 that is the same as 1.6.2, but with the dependencies declared correctly. Because I know people are going to want to go back and forth between 1.6.5 and 1.6.2. Thoughts?
