Hmm, I tried with WIN32OLE distributed with 1.8, it is very
different from standalone package and rough, although they are
same 0.5.2.

You need to override WIN32OLE.new.

    require "win32ole"

    class IExplorer < WIN32OLE
      def self.new
          super("InternetExplorer.Application")
      end
    end

    ie = IExplorer.new
