Dang,
Can you provide the source URL for that?
Thanks.
It looks like JSX doesn't work at all in windows 7, with jaws 15.
It fails to find the enu folder.

Hi
For me, I use JS install from accessible program with Inno setup.
It give a script with file size over 300kb, but if you just want to do a simple
package, then you should use it because you can create your installer usign the
wizard.
