Fine Reader 11 installation process

I have been using FineReader Pro for several years. The install interface for FineReader 11 is different from what I recall, so I thought I would write this out in case it might help other people who use it with screen readers. I don’t know how this would compare using Window Eyes.

It runs the self-extract process and then opens a setup menu with five options: install, view user’s guide, explore CD, ... I can’t remember the fourth, and exit. These are not read as you tab through, but tab does move you through and read current line command will tell you which one focus is on. Pressing enter will activate it. The install process is fairly straightforward. If you choose custom, you may want to know this.

It brings up a treeview with choices to select. Press space on the one you want and a menu comes up allowing you to choose how you want it installed—this is much like what you get on the Office options when you install from CD and it gives you the choice to install to hard drive, install on first use, etc. After you select from the menu (by pressing enter), you are back in the treeview and then press next. There is no indicator to show what is selected.
