Can the recording of the installation only be done from the hard drive and not the CD? I want to put the files on a CD with The XP setup files, can I safely leave out all of the folders except the Jaws70? In one part you used a slash S and then you used the Dash S for the silent install, I am assuming I use the dash S?

If you've downloaded the JAWS program from www.freedomscientific.com, you'll need to extract the contents from the .exe file with WinZip or WinRAR. Once that's done, you'll need to record the installation by using the switch -R first. For example the command would look like this: drive:\JAWSSource\Setup.exe -R Use narrator to install JAWS without speech, as you don't want the computer to restart after the installation. Also at the end of the install when it asks if you'd like to restart the computer, tell it no. Now, go ahead and install JAWS, then look in your windows directory for a file called setup.iss. When you find it, place it in the JAWSSource directory, which is the directory you've extracted the .exe file to. Now to silently install with the options you have selected, run setup.exe with the switch -S. For example: drive:\JAWSSource\Setup.exe /S If you want to not have to activate JAWS, copy JAWS.cps and FSShell32.dll from program files\Freedom Scientific\Activator. You'll want to copy these files back before JAWS is started. You can do this with narrator. Also to make JAWS start automatically upon startup, use this command: sc create JFWService type= interact type= own start= auto error= ignore binpath= "C:\Program Files\Freedom Scientific\JAWS\7.0\jfw.exe" group= "screen readers" obj= LocalSystem displayname= "JAWS for Windows" sc description JFWService "JAWS for Windows screen reader for people who are blind or visually impaired." If you'd like to have your settings preinstalled, grab all the jcf files from documents and settings\your user name\application data\Freedom Scientific\JAWS\7.0\settings\enu. Don't worry about the files in the all users folder. Now, just copy the jcf files back to the appropriate directory after you've installed JAWS, and you're set. All copying can take place from the automated install. This is how I copy my authorization information. xcopy "JAWSSource\activator\*.*" "c:\program files\freedom scientific\activator\" /H /Y That should do it I think. If you have any questions, feel free to ask.

To make this task simple I will be using the unattended setup. Is there a way that JFW 7.0 can be installed automatically after the operating system is done? Yes, I do have JFW Pro. Thanks.
