I do some testing like this:
first I started the SolidWorks ,seeing the Solidworks' process running
in the backgroung though the Process Manager.

then in the irb :
 >require 'win32ole'
=>true
 >sw = WIN32OLE.connect('SldWorks.Application')
The error:
WIN32OLERuntimeError:OLE server 'SldWorks.Application' not running
HRESULT error code:0x800401e3
