I was talking for the nullsoft scriptable system install,
Ok, so you are lucky for asking this question, because I got a mail from the
NSIS developer, and I can give it to you, mail below.

Re: Accessibility problem with NSIS to screen-readers

It is the best and pretty much only engine we could find that fits our
needs of being small, compact, compatible and with predictable results.
Partly due to those needs, that engine is not very customizable and
doesn't allow to easily make the changes you suggest. On top of it,
there is the fact that this piece is solely for prettying things up and
is completely redundant. Everything needed also shows up in the start
menu program group.

If you find a simple solution or submit a patch to the wxWidgets code,
I'd be happy to include it. But I don't intend to start heavy
development on it as there are far more important things to do with NSIS.

Well, Thank you for your efforts,
but I still see nothing using tab, shift+tab, alt key and applications key.
even arrow keys navigate me no where, I understand what you said, or
what you use perhaps,
is there no other HTML engine available? or any way to put the items
that someone told me were there on the window, and they had the text
lable with them like: "example, documentation, compile nsis scripts and
more".
in one listbox, and one should use arrow to select one item, and then
click ok?
or any possibility to move item-to-item using tab or any navigation keys?
or perhaps a context menu invoked with the application key?
Thank you, Jitendra.

Hi Jitendra,
Sorry for the late reply, I was out of the country on vacation.
As far as I know, it's only the NSIS Menu which is not accessible
because the HTML engine we use for it just doesn't support the proper
interfaces. The generated installer and everything but that uses
standard controls and should be accessible using standard methods.
I have checked again with our HTML engine and it seems it might have
some basic support for it now. We use wxWidgets' wxHTMLWindow. I have
compiled two new versions of the NSIS Menu for you to test. If one of
them works with JAWS, let me know and I'll include them in the next
version. If not, we'll just have to wait for wxWidgets to add proper
support.

As for NSIS Menu itself, you don't really need it. It's just a "pretty"
HTML window with links to basic starting points. It's inherently
redundant and you're not missing out on anything important by not using it.

Hello, I am Blind, and use JAWS for windows as my screen-reader,
I installed the latest version of NSIS today, when I opened it, it was
like a plain board for me, JAWS read nothing, no buttons using tab,
shift+Tab and any arrow keys, and no other keyboard shortcuts I found,
though the documentation was very nice, I love  it, but I found no topic
in it dealing accessibility.
Hope you understand what I want to impress on to you,
so if possible, in your next release, you might want to think of the
blind and make NSIS Accessible using standard window classes like
buttons, lists and other controls and easy navigable as well.
Thank yu, Jitendra.
