Kingsley plans to remove autoit, which will resolve this issue.

Bret Pettichord - 28/Jan/07 12:24 AM

The problem is that in 1.5.x, autoit is auto-registered on first use. But this requires admin privileges. We need to provide a post-install script that would register autoit and then tell people to run this script as admin.

Another workaround would be simply to install autoit directly (instead of depending on watir to install it).
