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 conflicts with commonwatir (= 1.6.2) (Gem::LoadError) from C:/Ruby193/lib/ruby/site_ruby/1.9.1/rubygems/specification.rb:741:i n `activate' from C:/Ruby193/lib/ruby/site_ruby/1.9.1/rubygems.rb:209:in `rescue in t ry_activate' from C:/Ruby193/lib/ruby/site_ruby/1.9.1/rubygems.rb:206:in `try_activat e' from C:/Ruby193/lib/ruby/site_ruby/1.9.1/rubygems/custom_require.rb:58:i n `rescue in require' from C:/Ruby193/lib/ruby/site_ruby/1.9.1/rubygems/custom_require.rb:35:i n `require' 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 uld not find firewatir (>= 0) amongst [activesupport-3.2.1, bigdecimal-1.1.0, bu ilder-3.0.0, commonwatir-1.6.2, hoe-2.13.1, i18n-0.6.0, io-console-0.3, json-1.5 .4, minitest-2.5.1, multi_json-1.0.4, rake-0.9.2.2, rdoc-3.9.4, s4t-utils-1.0.4, user-choices-1.1.6.1, watir-1.6.2, win32-api-1.4.8-x86-mingw32, win32-process-0 .6.5, windows-api-0.4.1, windows-pr-1.2.1, xml-simple-1.1.1] (Gem::LoadError) 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.
