Yes, but no. Yes, you need to have it installed, but, for heaven's sake, 
not in %WINDIR%\system32, or anywhere below %WINDIR%. Libraries, used by 
multiple programs (like wxWidgets), should go into %APPDATA%, or their 
path should be added to %PATH% (easiest way to do that in Ruby:

system("path %path%;#{mypath}")

You should never, ever copy your files into %windir%, unless you are a 
driver vendor. That's a really, really bad habit carrying over from (at 
least) Windows 3.x.
