Hi. Thanks for this. I just did a reinstall since things were behaving strangely even after trying to fix the file. BRLTTY is installed and the Baum driver is selected. I tried to install BRLAPI and I'm still getting the error about Python -32 being required and not found in my registry. I have both 32-bit and 64-bit versions of Python installed, so I'm not sure what the problem could be here.
