I've just installed Ruby 1.9.1 (via these instructions: http://wiki.openqa.org/display/WTR/Install+Ruby) and in attempting to get Watir working received the following error: - - - - - - - - - -

'gem install win32-api -v 1.4.5' followed by 'gem install watir' Worked for me. Might work for someone else too.
