Re: cannot reinstall either version of jaws/says installation failed

The biggest problem with trying to re-install Jaws 2019 happened after we downloaded the program from the FS site and ran the repair. That’s when I found the duplicate Jaws2019 .EXE file in my program list.

It would be interesting and helpful if folks mentioned whether they updated Jaws from the update or from the stand-alone installer downloaded from FS. Because I still wonder if updating through the update link can do strange things to Jaws. Glenn

I had the same problem back in June. The Jaws tecnician ran the repair and blew my computer out of the water. I had to contact a second Jaws technician who spent 2 days to finally get Jaws to reinstall. He had to remove all Jaws links out of the registry, twice before Jaws would re-install. The problem was that when the first technician did the Jaws repair it put two copies of Jaws 2019 in the computer.

Since the repair instructions are way hard to understand, Jaws is in need of a reinstall. I have the EXE files of 18 and 19 in my folder, but attempting to reinstall either version results in an immediate "installation failed" message. I used to somehow be able to repair by opening the install and given the modify and repair choices. But I don't know if this easy repair works anymore, so I am hopeful there's a fix for this installation failed message.
Thanks.
