I had an older version, perhaps 5.2 working on Windows 7. Since the other
person was asking about it, I decided to try it on Windows 10.
We need to separate the two issues. One issue is what works
Search for brltty.exe and see if it was installed.
There is also a file called run-debug.bat which should produce a log
file. I suspect that the 6.0 release doesn't work on Windows 10, but
somebody may have better results.

Yes, possibly when you zip the files and move it to another system, the
security properties get changed.
Perhaps, but, to my knowledge, the .zip file isn't being made with any special
security properties.

The log file should be in the same directory where the run-debug.bat

If you notice an error about not connecting to a named pipe, it probably

Agreed. I've been working on that problem, mostly by assembling a

Not saying that will fix the problem, but maybe it will give you some

Can you explain more precisely what you are doing? Take Debian for
example, the default console when the GUI is running is #7. If you
press control-alt-f3 for example you would go to #3 which should be a
text console. Are you saying nothing is read by BRLTTY?

per se. It's being able to control the screen reader. To switch braille tables,

It almost sounds like the older version of BRLTTY is still

a clean reinstall.

Maybe you can open a command prompt and run run-brltty.bat or
debug-brltty.bat. These should be in the Brltty directory.

You can bring up the Device Manager in Windows and find Ports COM and

You could fall back to Marco using the 'gsettings' command and changing

You need to know what 'com' port the Alva is connected to, and that can
change depending on what USB port your USB adapter is plugged into.
You can tap the windows key and type 'device manager' then open the
device manager and find the 'Com And LPT ports'. This can show you what
you have.
Are you running Mate? Maybe it could be related to the bug where
the Marco process becomes hung, but this is just a guess.
