Guess what? The one-click installer can be used as a command line installer.

>watir-1.4.1.exe /S

I just figured this out.

There is also a /D switch that can be used to specify where to install to.

>watir-1.4.1.exe /S /D=c:\watir_bonus

How does this sound?

I do like the idea of a separate script for uninstalling old versions of Watir.
