Re: [Blind-sysadmins] Silently Installing Jaws or a Screen Reader on an End User Client Machine
by Timothy Spaulding 10 Mar '14

I use psexec to install JAWS to remote computers quite a bit. The way I do this is to have JAWS installation .exe and scripts that I want on the remote machine on a share that is accessible from that remote machine. The I use psexec to run a .cmd file from that share that copies the .exe and the scripts locally before executing the installation. Here is the contents of the installation .cmd file: @echo off @rem Install the latest JFW version and @rem update JAWS scripts @rem to local machine set local SET InstallFrom=%~dp0 set build=15.0.6025 set VERSION=%build:~0,2%.0 set j12rc=0 set j12uninstall="C:\Program Files\Freedom Scientific Installation Information\356DE2A8-01EB-464e-9C33-0EEA3F923000-12.0\UninstallJAWS.exe" set j13rc=0 set j13uninstall="C:\Program Files\Freedom Scientific Installation Information\356DE2A8-01EB-464e-9C33-0EEA3F923000-13.0\UninstallJAWS.exe" set j14rc=0 set j14uninstall="C:\Program Files\Freedom Scientific Installation Information\356DE2A8-01EB-464e-9C33-0EEA3F923000-14.0\UninstallJAWS.exe" :current @echo Architecture: %PROCESSOR_ARCHITECTURE% if /I "%PROCESSOR_ARCHITECTURE%" equ "AMD64" ( set FILE=J%build%-64bit.exe ) else ( set FILE=J%build%-32bit.exe ) @echo install: %file% copy %InstallFrom%%FILE% %temp%\%file% xcopy /Y /S /E /I /Q %InstallFrom%%VERSION% "%APPDATA%\Freedom Scientific\JAWS\%Version%" %temp%\%FILE% /Type SilentRemote set j15rc=%errorlevel% del %temp%\%FILE% endlocal :exit if "%j12rc%" neq "0" (@echo JAWS12 uninstall returned %j12rc% & set RC=%j12rc%) if "%j13rc%" neq "0" (@echo JAWS13 uninstall returned %j13rc% & set RC=%j13rc%) if "%j14rc%" neq "0" (@echo JAWS14 uninstall returned %j14rc% & set RC=%j14rc%) if "%j15rc%" neq "0" (@echo JAWS15 install returned %j15rc% & set RC=%j15rc%) exit /b %RC% it typically does require a reboot; and this is mainly for RDP usage. -----Original Message----- From: Blind-sysadmins [mailto:blind-sysadmins-bounces@lists.hodgsonfamily.org] On Behalf Of Mika Pyyhkala Sent: Monday, March 10, 2014 11:02 AM To: Blind sysadmins list (blind-sysadmins(a)lists.hodgsonfamily.org) Subject: [Blind-sysadmins] Silently Installing Jaws or a Screen Reader on an End User Cleint Machine Hi, There are times when I may need to work on an end users machine either in person or via remote desktop. What is the easiest way to do a complete installation of Jaws or NVDA on such a machine remotely. In other words I would be at my machine with full rights to the target machine and want to do a Jaws install so it will be ready to use when I walk to the users desk or connect via RDP. I know there is i.e. a switch like Jaws.exe /type silent I am wondering if there is a script etc. that could be used to initiate this. I have a vb scrip tfor installation of other software but I have not customized it with msiexec for Jaws. Also I'm not sure if it would be possible to do it using a remote connection to the target pc with psexec.

Greetings, What server monitoring applications do you use? Both payed and unpayed suggestions are welcome. I've eused whats up gold very effectively in the past. I haven't had great success with Nageos with Windows machines but this is possibly due to not giving it enough time to learn about everything. Thanks Darragh

09 Mar '14

Hi all, I am currently running Windows 7 Pro and I also purchased a copy of Windows 8 and I have also upgraded it to 8.1, but unfortunatly there are programs that do not work under 8.1 wich I need to run. I also need to change the system language and that's not possible, or I would say, it an be done but i can result in activation problems. So, does anyone know if one can purchase somewhere, Windows 7 Ultimate online or a product key for it? Many thanks for any help, Christian

by Chris Smart 07 Mar '14

I've been backing up for over a year with Casper. It's as easy as plug in external 1TB USB3 drive, let it update anything that has changed recently, and done. But I haven't had to restore with it yet. Have any of you? Any pros or cons you can share? thanks Chris

Hi, this is my last email to the list on this subject. the zip for usb use is at https://www.drivehq.com/file/DFPublishFile.aspx/FileID1780826562/Keyg4w3ixw… >From this disk you can install your copy of windows 7 32 bit or windows 7 64 bit, you can also install your windows 8 32 bit or windows 8 64 bit. You also have access to the windows 7 64 bit recovery image feature, so if you made a system backup using the control pannel backup and created a system image, you can restore it using this disk. Unfortunately, I haven't been able to restore a windows 8 system backup as of yet since it uses the vhdx instead of vhd. This release includes two synths, one of who is very eligent, and the other lives on deck. to set this one up do the following. put an empty two gig or higher usb stick in to your computer running windows 7 or windows 8. go to the command prompt by typing start, run, c m d enter! Then type diskpart enter! then type list disk enter taking note of the number of your u s b stick. Then type select disk, then the number of your usb stick. For example select disk 2 enter. then type clean enter then type create partition primary enter. then type format fs=ntfs quick enter then type active enter. then type assign Now extract the file I sent you placing all of the files on to the usb drive. Your good to go, hear's the link. https://www.drivehq.com/file/DFPublishFile.aspx/FileID1780826562/Keyg4w3ixw… and the iso for dvd use once again is at http://www.drivehq.com/file/df.aspx/shareID11550803/fileID1780741131/disk.i… So, now that the uploads are working, please respect the list and keep all questions off the list and if you have questions about the disk or the downloading send it to bigikemusic(a)gmail.com. Please respect the modirator Thanks: Isaac Happy Trails
