What you're doing wrong, I think, is not opening the rename dialog, and
instead you are actually trying to run the executable file.
If you use the method you indicated, make sure the path that you paste in is
surrounded by quotes.
I don't use quite the same method.
What I do is find the executable for the latest version, (which I know the
path to), and, with it highlighted, I open the rename feature and paste the
highlighted file to the clipboard.
Then, I open the Run command, type the path with a backslash and then paste
in that name. Then, I go to the end of that file name and press the
following keys forward-slash type space repair
Then, press enter. UAC will come up, so just press alt-Y to start the
repair.

Subject: [JAWS-Users] JAWS repair
Hi. Last year VFO gave me a new set of instructions for doing a JAWS
repair. They worked well, and I posted a version to the list. today they
aren't working. When I put the terms into the run dialog and press enter,
I get the MS message that Windows doesn't know which program to use. Can
anyone suggest what I'm doing wrong? Here are the instructions:
First, make sure you have the .exe file on your system for the JAWS build
you're running. You can download it from the FS/VFO website.
Unlike before, it doesn't seem to matter where you keep it on your system.
Close all running apps.
Highlight the JAWS .exe file.
Press shift-F10.
Arrow up to "Copy as path." Press enter.
Open the run dialog with Windows key-r.
Press control-v, then spacebar, then / (the forward slash key), then the
word "type", spacebar, and then the word "repair."
Let me try that command line a different way. After pressing control-v
followed by the spacebar, continue with /type repair
Then press enter.
