At Zeljko's suggestion, I installed the latest Ruby, then tried to install
Watir 1.6.2. I got this error:
gem install watir -v 1.6.2
ERROR:  While executing gem ... (Gem::Dependenc
yError)
   Unable to resolve dependencies: watir requires commonwatir (= 1.6.2);
firewa
tir requires commonwatir (>= 1.9.2)

Z suggested to install both versions of commonwatir, which I did. When I
ran a Watir script, I got this error:
C:/Ruby193/lib/
ruby/site_ruby/1.9.1/rubygems/specification.rb:1626:in `raise_if_
conflicts': Unable to activate watir-1.6.2, because commonwatir-1.9.2

I uninstalled commonwatir at Z's suggestion, then when I ran the watir
script I got this:
but when I run script, it still says, C:/Ruby193/lib/
ruby/site_ruby/1.9.1/rubygems/specification.rb:1626:in `raise_if_
conflicts': Unable to activate firewatir-1.9.4, because commonwatir-1.6.2
confli
cts with commonwatir (>= 1.9.2) (Gem::LoadError)

Z suggested I uninstall firewatir, I did that. Then when I ran the script I
get this error:
C:/Ruby193/lib/
ruby/site_ruby/1.9.1/rubygems/dependency.rb:247:in `to_specs': Co

I don't WANT firewatir. Why do I have to have it?

The basic question is - how may I get Watir 1.6.2 working on my Windows 7
PC? I don't care what version of either Ruby or Watir that I have, I just
need for my many Watir scripts to work here. They work fine on my old Vista
64 PC that has Ruby 1.8.6 and Watir 1.6.2. I have tried to install both
Ruby 1.8.7/Watir 1.6.2 - scripts didn't work - and tried to install Ruby
1.8.6, but when I did that, the install of watir wouldn't work.

I'm losing the will to live. Please help!
