-1 old installer
+1 gem

> gem install watir

Easy peasy.

I have used cvs co, old installer, new installer and the gem. The gem
installation was simple. I especially like the fact that it only installs
watir. The only issue was having to (manually) remove watir from
lib\ruby\site_ruby\1.8 before using the gem installation.

If you continue with the old installer for people installing from HEAD, I
suggest that you make it a simple mkpath/install type script that just
installs watir. I would prefer to see dependencies like AutoIt moved out.
Like Ruby itself, I can download and install AutoIt before installing Watir.
It should just be referenced as a (possible) dependency in the Installation
instructions.

Thanks to the Watir development team for all the hard work. It's a great
tool.

Subject: [Wtr-general] new installers

Our new installers have been out for a bit. And we need to update our docs 
to reflect this.

Should we tell people about the one-click installer, the gem or both?

We have scattered reports of problems with the new one-click installer. 
We'd appreciate hearing more about it? Is it working for you. Do you like 
it? Is it better than the old one.

I want to update our documentation on how to install Watir and would like 
some feedback first.

I am also planning to convert the old installer to be a simply command line 
installer -- that way we have something very reliable for people who want 
more than a gem and are having problems with the one-clicker or want to 
install directly from HEAD.

Bret
