I run VIsta on a 64 bit system, and have run into two issues tha
tothers on this fourm have assisted me to resolve,
1. On Vista or WIn7 disable the Windows User Account Control (UAC)
http://windows.microsoft.com/en-ZA/windows7/turn-user-account-control-on-or-off
2. Perform the installation of Ruby with admin rights (Run as
Administrator)
Right click on the installer and select 'Run as Administrator'
3. Launch Ruby with Admin rights. (Run as Administrator)
Be that when you open your Console, or if launching ffrom an
Editor or IDE, when you launch
launch that tool.
4. If running on an 64-bit system the command Watir used to register
its 32-bit autoit3,dll
will NOT be sufficient, you'll need to register the dll using the
windows 64-bit registration tool.
Right click on he Windows Console and selected 'Run as
Adminisrator' .
At the command line to register the autoit dll:
c:\Windows\SysWOW64\regsvr32 full\path\to\AutoItX3.dll
Use the full path, the dll is installed with the Watir gem, so
should be in
something like c:\ruby\lib\ruby\gems\1.8\gems\watir1.6.5\watir
