    How to install Watir?

    Hi,

    I am trying to install watir (ruby gem).
    But I am getting the following error:

    ERROR: While executing gem ... (RuntimeError)
    Error instaling watir:
    watir requires win32-process >= 0.5.5

    Please help me to install the watir.

    Thanks,
    Susintha

    It sounds like your win32-process is not supported by Watir. You might try the following:
    Code:
    gem update --system 
    gem install watir --include-dependencies

        I'm not sure what that means, but it sounds like it might be a problem with the rubyforge server.

            Possibly here. Have you tried gem update --system again recently?
