Technical Support - Detail
Short Description
Problem
Last updated in April 2021.
Starting with JAWS 18.0.4104, JAWS no longer includes the Visual Studio 2005 Redistributables installer in its setup package. As a result, unless already installed on the system, you should download and install the Microsoft Visual C++ 2005 SP1 redistributables in order to use the JAWS authorization CD or if you plan to use DECtalk USB, TripleTalk USB, or the Keynote Gold stand-alone synthesizers.
Solution
Below is the Microsoft Visual C++ 2005 redistributable download link. On the web page, select the “Download” button and then choose the appropriate files to download.
Microsoft Visual C++ 2005 Redistributable Package Download Page
NOTE: For 32-bit operating systems, choose the x86 file. For 64-bit systems, both the (x64) and (x86) packages should be installed.
Now you can use the JAWS authorization CD, DECtalk USB, or TripleTalk USB synthesizers by Access Solutions, or the Keynote Gold stand-alone synthesizer with JAWS (or Fusion).
