Hi Geoff,
I ran into something like this. I did a repair on my old JAWS, but told it to 
keep my user settings. I reinstalled. All worked fine for me. Keep in mind that 
I had very little personal scripts at the time.

Subject: [jawsscripts] Scripting and updating jaws internally?

Scripters.
Can anyone else confirm that internally updating jaws constantly seems to fail 
on their systems? I'm wondering at precise cause of this, if anyone has 
determined?  I'm posting here because I suspect it's something to do with those 
who script things and maybe mess with their default.jsb's as does skype scripts 
and maybe other's installation, or maybe placing other files into the enu, or 
personalized settings folder, as hsc obviously does,
or perhaps placing other backup folders, in the settings directory? anyone got 
any specific info/clues on this?

Basically after it doing the download and partial install etc, it comes up with 
the error message that the components could not be installed, and to try 
running a repair and then running the update again. does anyone know actually 
technically what that does, or how I might render the relevant folders 
updatable, manually? such that I don't have to clobber the whole jolly thing 
with a repair, and not know what it's gunna do that I'll then have to try and 
figure out etc?

thanks very much for any clues.
