Hello,There are issues with the current version of brltty for windows and I am running into these as well.
My steps: * Fresh install of windows 10.* Download |brltty-win-6.5-0-libusb-1.0.exe| <https://brltty.app/archive/brltty-win-6.5-0-libusb-1.0.exe> * Start the setup: windows asks for elevated privileges, i have to press next several times, after copying files brltty configurator window appears, I choose Driver: auto and port: USB, then later opt to install libusb driver. * At the end of the setup process setup configures BrlApi service but its startup is failing. * After finishing the setup I can notice all the files are installed into C:\Program Files (X86)\brltty. * I start command prompt as administrator, navigate to that folder where brltty got installed and am trying to run file run-brltty.bat.
* I receive an error like this brltty.exe: cannot open file: //etc/brltty.conf: No such file or directory* Okay, perhaps there's a way around it so I then run .\bin\brltty --help and also inspect the bat file which I can modify by adding -f "C:\Program Files (X86)\brltty\etc\brltty.conf" inside so the brltty can find the config file. * In order to try to reinstall the BrlApi service I am applying the same tweak to the enable-brlapi.bat file.
* Then running disable-brlapi.bat and again enable-brlapi.bat. * There are no more errors related to file not found.* However while trying to start the service I am always receiving error like this no matter how much I am trying.
Error 1067: 'The process terminated unexpectedly'* Then I have opened services applet, navigated to BrlApi service and added the following to the arguments entry fields in the service properties window: -f "C:\Program Files (X86)\brltty\etc\brltty.conf" -L "C:\Program Files (X86)\brltty\svc.log" So it can find its config file and also it can output what's going on into the log. The log is brief but hopefully gives enough pointers on what needs changing. I think it needs a source code change.

Hello, I simply don't like older versions of software.There must be some bug in Brltty because some people have similar problems even in Windows 11.Martin. Dne 05.12.2022 v 18:20 Dietmar Segbert napsal(a):Hello,i am not martin, but i have the same problem to use a tieman combibrailleor voyager under windows with nvda and brltty.Both brailledisplays work fine under linux (Debian 11). The cursorrouting-keys of the combibraille will not work under linux (brltty 6.5.5) Under windows 10 i have installed python 3.8.7 32 bit (Dave has writen here in this list this version!). I can compile the brlapi 0.81 frombrltty 6.2.x. but i can not build the brlapi 0.82, 0.83 or 08.84 from theversions of brltty 6.3.x, 6.4.x, 6.5.x. The same python version, how compiles the brlapi 0.81, shows the error, that there is no python 32 version, how is needed.You can find the file, which compiles the needet dll files, in the brltty/python/ directory. Without this compiled files, nvda will not connect to the brltty brailledriver. Sorry for my english, but i hope, you can understand, what i mean, martin, why do you not use the python 3.8.7, as Dave it wrote in thes list.
