However, you don't include the libusb-win32 filter driver, correct?
The driver will only be installed if there is no driver for one's 
display installed already. Most users probably installed the 
manufacturers' USB driver, many of which emulate a serial port. This is 
why the filter is ideal: it can access the device even if a driver is 
already installed, althouhg it can also cause other problems. The 
problem is that if there is no driver installed, Windows will request a 
driver, even if the filter is installed. In other words, the 
libusb-win32 filter is ideal if you have a driver already installed, 
while the libusb-win32 driver is ideal if you don't. This is extremely 
confusing and I don't honestly know how we're going to work around these 
issues. This is one of the reasons I am tempted to simply implement 
drivers for displays directly in NVDA, as silly and redundant as this is.
