And is there perhaps one with another version in c:\windows\system32?

Ok so it should be the same as the libusb along brltty.

Yes, it has to be in the system directory.

Brltty already ships them.  Installing different versions of libusb
would actually only bring breakage :)

No need to install both.  Either you get the filter working and then
you can continue using the driver from papenmeier, or you install the
driver, but then you have to switch.  Or you use a virtual port, but if
the papenmeier driver doesn't provide one, that's not a solution.
