I am getting some emails reporting a couple of issues. The first is from folks trying to install Watir with Ruby 182-15. They get an error message about the installer not being able to find Fox. Looks like Fox is now installed as a Gem, so one must also require rubygems in the installer. We should figure out a way to clean this up; I'm wondering how many new users are running into this, not telling us and moving on in frustration.
 
Here are two issues that were last emailed to me:

I installed the 182-15 one-click Ruby build to start. When I tried to install watir using install.rb, the install failed because the Fox gui libraries couldn't be found. This seems likely to be a problem with the ruby installation not working correctly. The installer mentioned something about running a "command line" version of the installer, but it wasn't obvious where that might be and your documentation didn't mention anything about it either. So, I figured that 182-15 was shot just like 182-13 is. :)

- After downloading and installing 182-14, I was able to get the watir installer to start up and run. However, during the installation, I got a dialog saying that a LoadLibrary("c:\Programs") failed (or something to that effect). This is because I installed Ruby in "C:\Program Files\Ruby" and watir in "C:\Program Files\Ruby\watir" initially (since I don't like to clutter up C:\ and D:\). I'm guessing that the load library call can't handle the space in the directory name. This could be a watir install problem (improper string quoting/escaping) or a ruby load library problem I guess.

These have been popping up on the email list as well lately. Any thoughts or ideas on fixes?

Thanks;
