0.1.12.2, so it's the same version.

Ok.

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 :)

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

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.
