I tried RequestExecutionLevel user. It didn't prompt for a password, but it wouldn't write any files in %programfiles%, probably because of permissions. I can do a Just Scripts install.

It looks like if it needs to write an installer it needs admin privileges to write in Program Files and write the uninstall info in the registry. So how can anything that writes an uninstaller run without admin privileges? How can I get the %appdata% before UAC does its thing? What torture can we devise for the jerks that made all this security necessary?

I'll have to do more research.

Hi Gary,
attached is the installer log when I attempt to install for current user who 
has a standard account.
A couple of observations:
1. Its put the scripts in the wrong roaming profile: admin rather than the 
current user.
2. When you open the installer, you immediately get a user account control 
dialog, but if you only want to install for the current user, you shouldn't 
have to go through one of these.

I wasnt' installing for more than one script language,

best wishes,
David.

can you still grab the installer.log file from the %programfiles%\JAWS
Script for Audacity folder?

Were you installing for more than one script language?

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
