Sure, but the installer will need to check if the screen reader is installed
and if so - to place the resulting scripts to the special folders - unique
for every screenreader not forgetting to ask if the user wants to install
them of course. It is not enough to place them under the TSVN folder - a
tradition in screen reader developing is to place the scripts to the folders
that are specially designed for that - for example into
%userprofile%\Application data\Freedom
Scientific\JAWS\VersionNumber\Settings\enu\ in case fof JAWS - the most
popular screen reader now they will not work anywhere else escept this
folder - and the task of the installer is to place them in this folder while
installing - I believe that the best way here is to develop the small part
of WIX installation procedure for me and you shall call it if the
appropriate screenreader is installed while installing the TSVN. This will
be discussed later when there will be what to install I believe in details
(smile).

Thank you for direct links - I was nearly going to search for them and such
a gift as direct links is great!

Ok, I am going to install the latest nighty build right now and check this -
I need to make some tweak merge right now and if it works this will help me
a lot!

Thank you.

Serge.
