JAWS video intercept used to bring up Windows security questions which sometimes didn't take focus. So when it's seemingly doing nothing, do check you've not got a mystery pop-up.
Also are you running the installer as Admin? Not just as you, but actually right-clicking the exe and choosing run as anministrator?

Reread the post. The OP is trying to install it on their personal computer.

Call Vispero or your local dealer.

its the demo version, and this is the reason i prefer nvda, it just works

NVDA is made by people for people. JAWS is made by a corporation for corporations.

sounds about right

Vispero or your local dealer should still be able to help. If you are in the US, your school's JAWS license may be able to be used at home.
