I've used WIN32OLE with .NET COM wrappers just fine...

regasm /tlb /codebase mywrapper.dll

obj = WIN32OLE.new 'MyWrapper.AwesomeObject'
obj.DoSomethingReallyCool()

For a RubyClr example:

require 'rubyclr'
reference 'System'

include System

sb = Text::StringBuilder.new
sb.append 'This '
sb.append 'is '
sb.append 'how '
sb.append 'it\'s '
sb.append 'done'

"This is how it's done" == sb.to_string
