Re: [Blind-sysadmins] Silently Installing Jaws or a Screen Reader on an End User Client Machine
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@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.

Thanks, so will the target machine just reboot on its own, or do you have to manually reboot it afterwards? Also does this CMD script require that you keep the original JFw exe filename with the version number? Sometimes I will rename it i.e. j1564bit.exe. In doing some searches, I also see on this list we talked about installing JFW from an MSI package, although there was an issue with I believe Elloquence not loading & it wasn't clear if that issue ever got resolved. I have a VB script that will remotely install an MSI package. Right now I am mainly using it to install MS Office Communicator 2007 although we are transitioning to using SCCM 2012 for these installs.

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 have a vb scrip tfor installation of other software but I have not customized it with msiexec for Jaws.

Hi, If you want to reboot the machine, you can add shutdown -f -r -t 00 although as Tim said you should add an extra if for it. Cheers, Ben. On 3/10/14, Timothy Spaulding <spaulding@icanbrew.com> wrote:

You should look for a specific return code of 3010 to know that a reboot is required.
The file can be named anything you want, but the current script does require a specific naming convention:
J<major>.<minor>.<build>-<64|32>bit.exe

Thanks, so will the target machine just reboot on its own, or do you have to manually reboot it afterwards?
Also does this CMD script require that you keep the original JFw exe filename with the version number? Sometimes I will rename it i.e. j1564bit.exe.
In doing some searches, I also see on this list we talked about installing JFW from an MSI package, although there was an issue with I believe Elloquence not loading & it wasn't clear if that issue ever got resolved.
I have a VB script that will remotely install an MSI package. Right now I am mainly using it to install MS Office Communicator 2007 although we are transitioning to using SCCM 2012 for these installs.

For this part, I execute this with the following:
Psexec \\<remoteMachine> -h -u <domain>\<user> cmd /c \\server\share\InstallJAWS.cmd
You will be prompted for the password.
