[Wtr-general] Can't install Watir - Error opening file for writing: \watir\AboutItx.chm

[Lennart Borgman (gmail)]

I ran

   gem install watir

instead and then at least the installation started. However after 
installation I ran

   C:\ruby\lib\ruby\gems\1.8\gems\watir-1.4.1\unittests> all_tests.rb

That started, but it looks like several things went wrong. The final 
message is

   Problem with Autoit - is it installed?

Eh, no. I can't see any information about it on

   http://wtr.rubyforge.org/watir_user_guide.html

So, unfortunately once again, what is wrong?

I am using Windows XP Pro if that matters. I am using Firefox normally 
for my web browsing, but it seemed better to install Watir than its 
Firefox cousin, since I guess Watir uses CreateObject when attaching to 
IE. (For Firefox I have to install an extension which makes me worry 
about security.)
