Thank you for responding so quickly. I was able to get it working.
I did the gem install mysql process but it did not place the LIBMYSQL.dll in the ruby 1.8.7 bin folder. So, I actually installed MySQL found the LIBMYSQL.dll file copied it and placed it in the ruby 1.8.7 bin folder. I restarted the VM and ran the script and that window no longer displays. Thank you everyone for helping. I really appreciate. This is what make Watir so great.
