So, I'm also doing a fresh install on a new PC. I followed the
instructions above (although not necessarily in the same order).
I put ieDriverServer in a folder called WebDrivers and added that to my
PATH.
This is the list of gems installed.

On at least one of the gem installs, I saw this:
unable to convert "\x90" from ASCII-8BIT to UTF-8 for
lib/watir-classic/IEDialog/Release/IEDialog.dll, skipping
when I tried to bring up the IE browser through irb -- well, this is the
'session'

I have no idea where to go from here. I've checked my PATH

Files (x86)\ATI Technologies\ATI.ACE\Core-Static;C:\Ruby\Ruby20
0\bin; C:\WebDrivers
I verified IEDriverServer is in WebDrivers
C:\Ruby>dir \WebDrivers
Volume in drive C is Windows
Volume Serial Number is B4E6-C01B
Directory of C:\WebDrivers
04/30/2013 12:52 PM <DIR> .
04/30/2013 12:52 PM <DIR> ..
04/30/2013 12:52 PM 2,459,648 IEDriverServer.exe
1 File(s) 2,459,648 bytes
2 Dir(s) 275,042,410,496 bytes free
I'm actually using IE10, if that makes a difference.
Can anyone tell me what I'm missing?
Thanks in advance!
