[BRLTTY] Brltty on windows

[Øyvind Lode]

I can't find any virtual com ports.

Version of libusb0.dll:
0.1.12.2 

I can't find any version number of the filter, I just click install filter
on brltty ->
Install libusb win32 filter on the start menu.
I don't get a dialog asking me to were to install to.

I have now uninstalled libusb driver and filter.
Jaws is working fine again.

Maybe we should start from scratch?

Where can I get the latest libusb driver and filter?
And how do I go about installing them?

Should I install the libusb driver first and then the filter package?

I don't mean you have to do it.  I mean that's one way.

Look in the papenmeier configuration panel or such.

It's odd that the filter doesn't work, it should and would avoid having to
switch between drivers. Could you check that the version of the filter that
you install is the same as the version of the libusb.dll along brltty?

That's why it looks to me like just pushing the problem further :)
