Troubleshooting
This section identifies workarounds for some possible issues you may
encounter related to accessibility support in MathWorks products.
JAWS Does Not Detect When the MATLAB Installation Has
Started
When you select setup.exe, the Windows copying dialog box ope n s and you
are informed. After the files have bee n copied, the installati o n splash screen
opens, and then the installer starts. However, JAWS does not inform you that

to the installer, you can use JAWS to perform the installation.
