John,
I'm not sure I understand the question. But if you have 6.1 installed then
the 7.01 upgrade will work and take you directly to 7.01. If you have 7.0
installed then the 7.01 upgrade will work and take you directly to 7.01.
Regards,
Doug

Doug,
Ok, that makes sense and to make sure I understand, if I have only 6.1
installed this works as the previous 7.0 upgrade?
I might have had a brain melt. smile

John,
But the upgrade will work with 6.1 or 7.0. So saying it requires
Window-Eyes 6.1 or greater is correct.

Doug

Aaron,
You might want to change the page a little for the upgrade and here's
what I copied from the page.
NOTE: This upgrade requires Window-Eyes 6.1 or greater to be installed
prior to the
upgrade installation. Windows 2000, Windows XP (Home, Pro, or Media
Center editions),
Windows 2003, all 32-bit versions of Windows Vista and Windows Server
2008 are supported
It might be a little confusing when 6.1 is mentioned.

Subject: Window-Eyes 7.01 Is Now Available!
GW Micro is proud to announce the official release of Window-Eyes 7.01.
Thanks to customer feedback and the tireless efforts of the Window-Eyes
Error Reporting feature (and those who choose to send in error reports)
Window-Eyes 7.01 boasts more stability, reliability, and performance than ever
before.
Window-Eyes scripting is changing the accessible landscape of computers,
and the increased stability that Window-Eyes 7.01 provides means being able to
spend more time focusing on script development. Window-Eyes 7.01 also resolves
several issues that affected localized versions of Window-Eyes, and has
increased Window-Eyes marketability across the globe.
While Window-Eyes 7.01 is a minor upgrade, it packs a significant punch
including a few new features along with several bug fixes. A complete list of
all changes is included below.
Window-Eyes 7.01 is a FREE upgrade to Window-Eyes 7.0 users. To install
Window-Eyes 7.01, you must already have a working copy of Window-Eyes 7.0
installed (Retail, Demo, Evaluation, Dongle, Everlock, and LTO/Payment Plan
versions are all supported). To download the upgrade, select the "Window-Eyes
Update" option from the Window-Eyes Help menu, or navigate directly to
www.gwmicro.com/upgrade, and enter your serial number manually.
If you have any questions or comments please contact us at [EMAIL

Enjoy!
Enhancements between Window-Eyes 7.01 and Window-Eyes 7.0
We have resolved several memory leaks, and fixed several stability issues
thanks to the Window-Eyes error reporting feature. Window-Eyes 7.01 is a
significant improvement over Window-Eyes 7.0 in terms of stability and
responsiveness.
We fixed a problem where Window-Eyes could hang while leaving and
entering Browse mode quickly.
We fixed a problem where list boxes were not reading correctly in Visual
Studio 2005/2008.
We fixed a a problem where Browse Mode would not refresh when a link was
activated in Firefox 3.
Many upper Unicode characters (most above 7fh) were not getting
translated correctly in English grade 2 braille. This problem has been
resolved.
If the user profile path contained Unicode characters that didn't map
into ANSI, you were not able to install script package files. This problem has
been resolved.
Window-Eyes would only read part of words with upper Unicode characters
in PowerPoint 2003. This problem has been resolved.
Added the WEUpdate script to the factory default scripts. This script
will automatically check for Window-Eyes updates and let you know if there is
an update available.
iTunes
We resolved several issues relating to iTunes, including support for
using the Window-Eyes Find command while in the iTunes store, resolving the
issue of not being able to activate links using the Insert-Tab dialog,
resolving the double reading in listviews and treeviews, speaking expanded and
collapsed when you open and close tree view nodes, speaking the pull down menus
correctly under Windows Vista, and resolving a problem where set files could
not be associated to the iTunes window (or any window whose title was null). In
addition, Window-Eyes does not automatically enable Browse Mode when the iTunes
Store option is selected, meaning you can successfully arrow through all of the
main items without suddenly getting tossed into Browse Mode.
Scripting
If Window-Eyes is localized in a language that a script was not localized
in, the hotkeys won't work because they're not localized to the Window-Eyes
language. To resolve this issue, we have added a new property to the Key object
called UntranslatedName. From now on, our policy is to hard code default hotkey
names in your script, always in English, even if you are writing the script in
another language, because Window-Eyes will always be able to interrupt English
hotkey names. They can still be displayed to the user in the script language,
but they should be stored in INI files, and in scripts as English. This way no
matter what language Window-Eyes is localized in, or what languages the script
you are trying to use is localized in, the hotkeys will always work. Once
again, default hotkey names should not exist in the XML resource, because they
should never be localized. Keyboard.Key will accept both Key.Name and
Key.Unstranslated name. Refer to the documentation for more information.
Added Mouse.ButtonDownEx and Mouse.ClickEx methods. Both methods provide
the ability to enhance their respective functions with key modifiers. In
addition, ClickEx fixes a problem of interrupting speech after performing the
mouse click.
If a null string was returned through various Speech event handlers,
speech would get disabled. This was mainly a problem with Visual Basic which
would return null for speech events that weren't specifically hooked. This
problem has been resolved.
The scripting error dialog would sometimes pass a blank string for the
error description. Now, if Window-Eyes cannot retrieve the error description, a
default message will be used rather than displaying a blank string.
You can now use language id strings in the XML resource, such as "en" or
"en-us" instead of having to use a hexadecimal number.
If was possible for a script to not successfully restart, but you would
still hear the restart message. This problem has been resolved.
We fixed a problem where scripts could error when invoking
Keyboard.Registerhotkey on launch.
We fixed a problem where you couldn't Control or Shift-Click using the
keyboard (meaning you couldn't tap the Control key and then press the Left
Mouse button hotkey to perform a left click).
We fixed a version comparison problem when installing script package
files.
Window-Eyes now ensures that any read only attributes on script files
being installing, uninstall, or used when created packages are cleared. This
resolved a problem of script files not getting installed, or removed correctly.
The Window-Eyes Scripting Manual has been updated.
