Hi, I was trying the same and got errors too. I add more details below.
There problems are caused by required libs that were yet not migrated to Ruby 1.9. Here is what i got after i installed a fresh Ruby (1.9.1), then RubyGems (1.3.1), then Watir (1.6.2): c:/ruby1.9/lib/ruby/gems/1.9.1/gems/user-choices-1.1.6/lib/user- choices/arglist-strategies.rb:152: warning: else without rescue is useless c:/ruby1.9/lib/ruby/gems/1.9.1/gems/user-choices-1.1.6/lib/user- choices.rb:1:in `require': c:/ruby1.9/lib/ruby/gems/1.9.1/gems/user- choices-1.1.6/lib/user-choices/arglist-strategies.rb:148: syntax error, unexpected ':', expecting keyword_then or ',' or ';' or '\n' (SyntaxError) when 0: # This is not considered an error because another source ^ c:/ruby1.9/lib/ruby/gems/1.9.1/gems/user-choices-1.1.6/lib/user- choices/arglist-strategies.rb:178: syntax error, unexpected keyword_end, expecting $end from c:/ruby1.9/lib/ruby/gems/1.9.1/gems/user-choices-1.1.6/lib/ user-choices.rb:1:in `<top (required)>' from c:/ruby1.9/lib/ruby/gems/1.9.1/gems/commonwatir-1.6.2/lib/ watir/options.rb:3:in `require' from c:/ruby1.9/lib/ruby/gems/1.9.1/gems/commonwatir-1.6.2/lib/ watir/options.rb:3:in `<top (required)>' from c:/ruby1.9/lib/ruby/gems/1.9.1/gems/commonwatir-1.6.2/lib/ watir/browser.rb:2:in `require' from c:/ruby1.9/lib/ruby/gems/1.9.1/gems/commonwatir-1.6.2/lib/ watir/browser.rb:2:in `<top (required)>' from c:/ruby1.9/lib/ruby/gems/1.9.1/gems/commonwatir-1.6.2/lib/ watir.rb:6:in `require' from c:/ruby1.9/lib/ruby/gems/1.9.1/gems/commonwatir-1.6.2/lib/ watir.rb:6:in `<top (required)>' The problem is that (the installed version of) the "user-choices" lib is not migrated to Ruby 1.9.
