I also doubt iexpress has OLE interface. Anyway if you are interested
in using Ruby for automation on Windows you can read my article about
MS Office automation I recently had to deal with on
http://pragmaticdevnotes.wordpress.com/2008/12/17/with-a-little-help-from-ruby/.
Unfortunately I forgot to list some tools that can be useful for such
a tasks and the main one is:

http://homepage1.nifty.com/markey/ruby/win32ole/soleb-0.0.1a.zip

With it you can browse all OLE objects registered on your system, see
their methods, properties and some other things. You should start it
and check whether iexpress has registered some OLE interfaces at all.
Besides you can examine code and see how you can get information about
OLE methods and their arguments, OLE properties, etc.
