The Geek strikes again!
Yep, I've beeten the patheticness of windows again, or, perhaps that should be the even vaster patheticness of freedom scientific! Clearly the latter, well, both really, company is much too busy forming litigations against any innocent company they can find to bother writing JAWS properly any more... OK, it seems that jaws 10, specifficly J10.0.512.exe appears to drop a butchered form of the visual basic runtime on your PC. Sadly, windows is getting the evils of Linux, where everything you install these days seems to depend on one or more of the following bits of system blote! dot net framework 1.1, 2, 3, No, they're all required, they aren't versions like you'd think, and of course visual C++ runtime. The outcome of this mess, is that many things that are installed after this event including any later versions of JAWS, AVG8.5, and probably un countable other things fall over screaming at install time, and don't give any valid reason for it. Fortunately, I did eventually, after hours of googling find the visual c++ problem mentioned berried up to the neck in some obscure AVG forum, and I have worked out a solution that fixed that, and Woohoo, also lets the newest versions of JAWS install as well. Ok, here it is for anyone who has had the problem. First, you have to get rid of the garbage installer references to Microsoft visual c++ runtime that freedom scientific have kindly dumped on your system. I used the windows installer cleanup program (msicuu2.exe), but I think c-cleaner and others have facillities to perge entries out of the install database where they can often be way more trouble than help! It usually solves the problem where you can't install or uninstall something because some file usually located in a rediculous place such as "C:\Documents and Settings\username\Local Settings\Temp" can't be found. These programs are so badly written, that they can't even get the data out of themselves to replace it even though it's come from their own installer in the first place! Anyway, to fix it, go into the installer cleanup util and remove the installer entry for microsoft visual C++ runtime, and exit. Then install Visual C++ redistributable, (vcredist_x86.exe) downloadable from Microsoft, again which should work this time, cross your fingers, and suddenly JAWS later versions such as J10.0.1154.exeand Late versions of AVG might condecend to actually install properly at last!
