Abstract

Software installation is a one-time task; yet, it should work well. Regarding assistive technologies, users with disabilities will often require help in installation tasks. Five assistive software products were evaluated in order to identify barriers faced by visually impaired users performing the installation task and none of them, for different reasons, allowed full completion of installation task. Some recommendations are devised from the experience.
