Well my vote would be to not include the jsb file. All your doing here is causing your self problems. If the user is advanced enough to unpack the installer then he should be advanced enough to compile the scripts if need be. My question is why would a user wish to do this. Just run the installer install the scripts and go. I see no point in unpacking the installer. Thanks.

Subject: Re: [Skypeenglish] Warning to JAWS scripts users Actually that was not entirely intentional. I never included the jsb files in the installer before, because since the installer compiles things itself, there was no need to include the jsb files. However, now that the installer can be unpacked without being run, this becomes an issue. I will consider adding those files, but I have to consider carefully, for a few reasons. For one, it would mean that compilation failure could result in jsb ffiles compiled by varying JAWS versions being planted into a single JAWS version. For another, as JAWS versions change, there can be (and sometimes have been) changes in exactly how a JSS file is compiled. If I include jsb files, I will have to pick a JAWS version with which to build the distributed jsb's, then hope that they work in modern JAWS versions over time. Because I try to support old JAWS versions, my current pick for a compiler would be JAWS 10.0, because a major compiler change was introduced in one of the JAWS 11 updates. It will get less and less likely that I can continue using JAWS 10.0 to compile as time goes on.

Don't take any offense Doug, I don't want to accuse you in any sort, I am aware that you probably did it on purpose, but I think users should know this. It looks like the binary files (*.jsb) are not included in the installer, which means that, if you unpack it with sevenzip or presumably another compression program which should work, instead of launching it, you will have to recompile the scripts so that they can work properly. More precisely: 1.. if you updated from a previous scripts version and replaced all the files, you should be able to press ctrl+shift+c from within Skype for this purpose; 2.. if not, you probably need to open source files with the script manager and compile them by pressing ctrl+s. There also are a pair of folders which begin with $ sign which appear if you unpack the installer, not sure if they may safely be deleted. Bye!
