I don't know of registry changes, but when you retrieve an array of
keys from the registry, 10 sorts above 9 because things sort as
strings, not integers.

Runtime JAWS, I believe, is what runs during installation.

The DLL files you mention can be explored with a COM viewer, or with
Office's object browser.  FSAPI provides things like stopSpeech,
runFunction, and runScript (but you can't get return values from
anything).  In truth, I had assumed the SayTools package used this
API, but I confess I never really looked.

I have confirmed reports that JAWS Script Exchange (JSX) does not install
scripts with JAWS 10.0 public beta.  Since this has not been a problem
with JAWS 6 through 9, I suspect that Freedom Scientific has changed some
registry setting that JSX uses to retrieve information about directory
paths.  Has anyone figured out what that change is?

Also, I am curious if anyone knows what the difference in purpose is
between
C:\Program Files\Freedom Scientific\JAWS\10.0

and
C:\Program Files\Freedom Scientific\Runtime JAWS\10.0

In addition, does anyone know what this DLL does and whether it is
available to 3rd party developers?
C:\Program Files\Freedom Scientific\Shared\FSAPI\1.0\FSAPI.dll

Also, this directory tree seems to refer to a document object model server
by its abbreviation.  Does anyone know what it does?
C:\Program Files\Freedom Scientific\Shared\FsDomSrv
