FS Support told me recently that the command line repair and the other one
you describe are in fact different, and have different capabilities. I will
not try to explain the difference since I don't know!

but you don't need to use a command line to repair! all that is needed to
do is enter on the executable of the current version of jaws in the download
folder. the jaws setup begins, jaws will detect that the current version of
jaws is trying to install over itself, so a list of options appear modify,
repair or remove
isn't that sufficient?

Subject: [JAWS-Users] INITIATING A JAWS REPAIR WITH CURRENT VERSIONS OF
THESOFTWARE
Hello fellow Jaws users. I wanted to thank David Ferrin for his help with
this situation. One of our list members recommended that I initiate a
repair of Jaws. To be quite honest, I didn't remember how to do that.
Below, is a detailed set of instructions. In this situation, we are using a
"command line" which directly handles the repair. I hope that there are
others who might want to save these instructions for the time when they
might have to repair Jaws. Thanks again, David.
JAWS REPAIR SEQUENCE
This is the procedure for initiating a repair in Jaws. Make
sure that there is a clean copy of the most current version of Jaws in the
Downloads folder.
1. Focus on the executable file.
2. Press SHIFT+APPLICATIONS key.
3. Press the letter A until Copy As Path is reached and press Enter to
initiate that process.
4. Open a Notepad screen and paste the copied path into it.
5. Press spacebar and then the following command line.
/type repair That is space, forward slash immediately followed by the word
type, space, the word repair
6. Copy or cut the entire sequence onto your clipboard.
7. Open the Run option by pressing WINDOWS+R.
8. Use CONTROL+V to paste the command line into the Run field. Press
Enter.
9. Return to the Notepad screen and close the file.
10. The function will continue automatically until the system requests a
Restart. Press enter to initiate that process.
NOTE: If the latest version of Jaws is already present in your system and
you try to execute the new file, a warning message will appear, directing
you to use Control Panel to remove the current version before attempting to
install the new one. If you have more than one version of Jaws on your
system or you are familiar with how to operate narrator, this might not be a
problem. However, using this command line function is a more direct
approach. There may be other ways to achieve the same results.
