Hi,
I don't know, only guess that users scripts are allowed to read only from
registry Local user part.
First two functions give results for me (JAWS 17, Win 10 64bit), the third
one does not.
SayInteger(GetRegistryEntryDWORD(1, "SOFTWARE\\Freedom
Scientific\\JAWS\\17.0", "MainWindowY"))
sayString(GetRegistryEntryString (1, "SOFTWARE\\Freedom
Scientific\\JAWS\\17.0\\ResearchIt", "LastLookupSource"))
sayString(GetRegistryEntryString (2, "SOFTWARE\\Freedom
Scientific\\JAWS\\17.0", "Target"))

Subject: [jawsscripts] Re: Obtaining a list of installed Jaws versions
Hi Gary and others,
Thank you Gary for the information about trying the to get the versions from
the registry. I hadn't thought of that.
There appears to be only 2 JAWS functions for obtaining information from the
registry, one for integers, and one for strings.
I realise more will be required, but I tried the below as a starting point,
seeking to obtain at least 1 version, but nothing was returned...
SayString ( GetRegistryEntryString (2, "\\software\\Freedom
Scientific\\Jaws", "ProgramFilesDir"))
I tried this with and without backslashes at each end of the path, and found
the "ProgramFilesDir" in a FS script, but could only get empty strings
returned.
Have I missed something?
Is there another approach to getting a list of installed Jaws versions?
Thank you,
Paul from Australia.

Hi Paul,
In my installer I enumerate the subkeys in "HKLM\software\Freedom
Scientific\Jaws" and keep the ones that start with a digit. I'm sure you
can do that with a script, but I haven't looked at the scripting functions
for working with the registry in a long time, and I don't think NSIS code
would probably help you much. I don't have time right now to look at your
code carefully but I'm surprised you aren't getting the .0 on the end of the
list items.
Good luck!

Hi all,
I am trying to get a list of the installed versions of Jaws from
within a script.
I tried the below:
LET JawsFolder = GetJAWSDirectory ()
LET CurrentVersion = StringSegment (JawsFolder, "\\", -1) ; gave me
15.0
let JawsFolder = StringReplaceSubstrings (JawsFolder, CurrentVersion,
"*.*")
let JawsVersionList = FileNameList (JawsFolder, "|")
which partially worked, in that the list had the basic version
numbers,
13|14|15, but with the decimal and what follows clipped off.
I don't think that just appending the .0 is suitable, as there may
later be a version, as there has been in the past, where the path
contains a .3 or .5 etc.
Is there another way of doing this, so I get the full version number
as in the folder path, such as 13.0|14.0|15.0 etc.
With thanks in advance,
Paul from Australia
