I myself have done it this way for quite some time. It is a tried and true
method. The only reason quotes would be needed in the command line is if the
program was in a directory with spaces in its' name, IE "program files".

Subject: [JAWS-Users] New JAWS repair method
Hi. I'm writing to explain the new JAWS repair method I learned today from
VFO. Previously, I'd taken the file of the currently running JAWS build, put
it in the C drive, copied the exact wording into a Windows run dialog, etc.
this procedure failed twice for me today. VFO seems to know about this
because when I called, they had me follow the procedure I'll detail below,
and it worked. I don't know why it is different, but somehow it is. So, here
goes.
First, make sure you have the .exe file on your system for the JAWS build
you're running. You can download it from the FS/VFO website.
Unlike before, it doesn't seem to matter where you keep it on your system.
Close all running apps.
Highlight the JAWS .exe file.
Press shift-F10.
Arrow up to "Copy as path." Press enter.
Open the run dialog with Windows key-r.
Press control-v, then spacebar, then / (the forward slash key), then the
word "type", spacebar, and then the word "repair."
Let me try that command line a different way. After pressing control-v
followed by the spacebar, continue with
/type repair
Then press enter.
The process went more smoothly than any JAWS repair I can remember, and it
went all the way to the end.
I hope this is useful.
