It's been a while since I tried an executable installer so I'm not
sure about your specific problem.  It looks like you've got a space in
your path, which can cause problems in some scripts.  As with all
things Ruby, it tends to be easier to go the "Ruby Way" and use the
gem installer.  Figuring out the Ruby Way is the hard part : )

If you open your command prompt and type:
gem install watir

That should install Watir 1.4.1 as a Ruby gem, which will probably
take care of the issue.  You'll then be able to find the Watir install
and unit tests under ruby/lib/ruby/gems/1.8/gems/watir . . .  where
the first "ruby" is your root ruby install directory.

If that command (gem) is not a recognized command, then you do indeed
have a path issue, and you might want to try reinstalling ruby under
the C:\ directory, or following a howto on adding a directory to your
PATH like http://www.computerhope.com/issues/ch000549.htm.  Just add
your ruby/ directory to the path and you should be all set.
