Hi,

Here's what I think is going on. Suppose you are standard user standarduser. APPDATA is users\standarduser\appdata, so the JAWS scripts are in standarduser\appdata\freedom.... So you run the installer, which prompts for the admin password. While the installer runs it is running as admin, and APPDATA is admin\appdata, so the scripts are installed in admin\appdata\freedom..., but when scompile runs it looks for them in standarduser\appdata\freedom... and can't find audacity.jss. I'm not sure why scompile looks in standarduser when the installer is running as admin, and I don't know how to get the location of appdata from standarduser, which is what needs to happen. I need to research how to deal with this-- maybe the NSIS requestexecutionlevel instruction can help.

That's all for today.

Hi Gary,
to add a standard user, after opening the add user link:
1. On the how will the user sign in page, tab to the sign in without a 
microsoft account link, and open the link by pressing spacebar (enter doesn't 
work - words fail).
2. On the Add a user page, tab to local account button and press it.

I'm not quick sure what you mean by getting the script folder structure to 
appear. If you you've run Jaws as that user, then the Jaws folder stuff should 
be there in the roaming profile.

Okay, they've made things so easy I can't figure it out!

Can anyone tell me how to add a user on Windows 10.  By "user" I mean
just a standard PC user-- no e-mail, no birthday,no phone, no inviting
them to whatever?

I want to set up a standard user so I can install as not an
administrator.  If I can do that, will I have to reinstall JAWS to get
the script folder structure to appear?

Thanks.

Hi Gary,
I came across a problem installing the script. When I tried to install for only 
the current user, a dialog opened saying it could not complile audacity.jss 
(details below). I then tried to install for all users, and that was fine. I 
was installing from a standard user account, and then entering an admin 
password in the user account control dialog.

The full text of the dialog was:
Could not compile audacity.jss, SCompile returned -1
$OutDir=C:\Users\Admin\Settings\enu, Output:
Compiling audacity.jss
Couldn't open file audacity.jss for reading
. Retry compile?

Hi all,

I have just posted a new beta release of the JAWS script for
     Audacity.  This release features installer changes for
     multi-language support.  Currently English and Spanish are
     supported.  Silence Preview has also been updated to support
     Audacity 2.1.2.

I am particularly interested in feedback from people with
     non-English JAWS installations, since I don't have access to such an
     environment.

Please note that although the installer installs and compiles the
     scripts into the selected language folders, the JAWS script compiler
     always compiles the script files for the language of the
     currently-running version of JAWS.  Therefore, after installing you
     will need to run JAWS with each of the other languages and compile
     the scripts "manually".  This is a kind of silly implementation but
     it's the best I've come up with so far given the way the script
     ompiler works.  I am open to any suggestions!

The script has a new home.  The script is now hosted on GitHub.  You
     can download the 2.1.0-beta3 installer here.

The installer exe for the current "official release" is also there (although 
not the same binary file, it should have been built from the same source and should be 
functionally equivalent).

You can view the latest README.  (This may be newer than the one in the beta 3 
release.)

Let me know how it works for you.

Thanks.

Gary
