I have had a user fail to install my VMwarePlayer5 scripts, which were
distributed with JSX fail to install as well!  As far as I can tell,
some Environment variables are no longer set.  They are: 
In Windows 7: 
AppData=C:\User\<user>\AppData\Roaming
(this returns vlank in the following path in the JSX installer)
"%AppData%\Freedom Scientific\JAWS\14.0\Settings\enu"

The next 2 Environments have always been set on my computers as well:
ProgramFiles and ProgramData

I do not know who set these variables; Microsoft, Freedom Scientific, or
someone else.  They were very handy because they eliminated differences
between Windows 7 and XP as well as a different drive letter for the
boot drive.  If it is just a problem in JAWS 14, perhaps FS stopped
setting these variables.  If this can be verified, I would like to
request FS set them again in the next upgrade!
