Hi,
What is the one that JAWS Script Exchange uses? I can't remember.

Subject: Accessible Installer Generators for Windows
Hey folks,
We are getting ready for the release of Sodbeans 1.5 and, as many
folks know, we distribute our tool in two ways: 1) the NetBeans
generated Installer, and 2) Zip file distros. We do the latter because
of accessibility problems with the NetBeans generated installers, but
we do the former because Windows requires some configuration which
some people have to do manually with the zip distribution. While we
have tested the installers with JAWS and NVDA, and with the java
access bridge installed, they are generally accessible, in practice,
they are somewhat difficult to use.
Anyway, we are "considering" adding to the development schedule a
better installer for the Sodbeans 2.0 release, depending on what else
needs to be finished. This sounds easy, but because of the nature of
our tools, there are some technical challenges that would take time to
finish.
So my question. If we were to develop an installer that is highly
accessible, does anyone have any tips on generators that others have
used that come out really well with screen readers, preferably without
needing the Java Access Bridge to be installed?
Thanks for any tips,
Stefik
