following point Can you please help me? –code follows:

'config.yml' file to ensure it contains the root directories to all
of the installed Rubies you want enhanced by the DevKit.

My Problem is that when I try irb I am getting this error message below and I though the reason was that gem wasn’t installed

D:\Documents and Settings\cfoley1>irb
irb(main):001:0> require "watir"
=> true

irb(main):002:0>

I found the solution:

gem uninstall win32-process -v 0.7.0
gem install win32-process -v 0.6.6

Thanks to everyone to point me to the right direction
