[Wtr-general] Best Combination of Ruby and Watir

[Jeff Fry]

Thanks. Is this an accurate correction then?

To Install Ruby:    http://ruby-lang.org
   Best is to use Ruby 1.8.2-14.
   Most of Watir works with newer versions of ruby as well, but
IE#modal_dialog requires the 1.8.2 WIN32OLE library.
   It will NOT work with Ruby 1.8.1-13. (This version of Ruby has a bad
WIN32OLE library.)
