Actually another way to the undefined method "connect_unknown" error is to require 'win32ole' before requiring watir.

Thus

Make sure you DONT DO THIS:

require 'win32ole'
require 'watir'

but instead DO THIS:

require 'watir'
require 'win32ole'

The current modal_dialog code only works with Ruby 1.8.2. Or more specifically, the win32ole changes that we made to support modal dialogs only work with Ruby 1.8.2.

The patch was made, but now we think this is causing issues. A better solution would be to wrap IEDialog.dll with an Active X control.
