The version and release you download for the repair must be the same that you're running on your system, and it is that release number that you incorporate into the windows run command line.
Adam, you say you've already downloaded the JAWS file, so that's the one you copy into your root folder and proceed to follow Ed's transcribed FS instructions. Two more notes: 1. After you finish entering the command line and press enter, you may find yourself waiting a pretty long time. But JAWS will be speaking for much of the process. 2. At one point, I think before the 30% mark, you'll be told that JAWS is installing a certain file with "sentinel" in the name. Several times in my experience, the repair process has abruptly ceased soon after. Usually, starting the process over gets you past this obstacle. It's easy to start over because the command line will still be in the run window. I think one time I had to reboot and restart the process to get past this point. -----Original Message----- From: JAWS-Users-List [mailto:[email protected]] On Behalf Of Pinky Sent: Friday, April 08, 2016 11:30 PM To: [email protected] Subject: Re: [JAWS-Users] running a repair, jaws 17, win10?

Subject: [JAWS-Users] running a repair, jaws 17, win10? Hi all, On my desktop jaws won't start automatically. Is the only way to do a repair by pressing enter on the downloaded file or is there another way to do a repair with a command line? Is there a difference between pressing enter on the exe and selecting repair or using the command line? -- Adam Morris email: [email protected] For answers to frequently asked questions about this list visit: http://www.jaws-users.com/help/ For answers to frequently asked questions about this list visit: http://www.jaws-users.com/help/ For answers to frequently asked questions about this list visit: http://www.jaws-users.com/help/
