Thanks! It runs without errors now!
Except if I check the "view zip folder" after" checkbox.Then I get the
following error:
--- start of error
Location is not available
C:\Users\Don\AppData\Local\Temp\is-85DNL.tmp refers to a location that is
unavailable. It
could be on a hard drive on this computer, or on a network. Check to make
sure that the disk
is properly inserted, or that you are connected to the Internet or your
network, and then try
again. If it still cannot be located, the information might have been moved
to a different
location.
OK
-- end of error
Additionally, I have been trying to have jsx open a text file after
installing. I have a file with the same base name (root) as described
below,, and the text file is never opened in Notepad! I now have a copy of
that text file with the same base name as my main application (exe
association) and another with the same base name as the last jss file
alphabetically. Why not?
-- from relevant jsx help
Installing from an Executable Package
In this mode of the JSX Installer dialog, the Packager button is not
included, and the edit box for zip archive is read-only. Also, the button
for selecting an archive is replaced by a check box for keeping a copy of
the archive embedded in the executable. This choice is unchecked by default.
If checked, the Install button not only places scripts in the appropriate
JAWS folder, but places a copy of the zip archive in the same folder as the
executable (e.g., skype.zip would be placed in the same folder as the setup
program, skype.exe). In this way, you also have a copy of the zip archive
that the author created. It may be easier to look for documentation files in
it rather than in the JAWS scripts folder. JSX will look for a documentation
file, however, and automatically display it if found. JSX looks for a .txt
file with the same root name as the last .jss file in the archive (e.g.,
skype.txt). If found, JSX opens it with the default program for text files
(e.g., with Notepad).
