We need to separate the two issues. One issue is what works on Windows 7 versus
what works on Windows 10, and the other is does any of this change when using
an older release of brltty versus when using a newer one. I'd appreciate it if
these two transitions could be tested separately rather than both at once.

Yes, there are a coulpe of special patchdes for the Windows build, but the
build is official. The wording about it being an unofficial build is old and
will be fixed.

>When I run the install.bat, I get these errors:

>BRLTTY 6.0 rev unknown [http://brltty.app/]
>brltty.exe: OpenSCManager error 5: Access is denied.
>The service name is invalid.
>The first error comes from the batch file running "brltty -I".

As mentioned above, we need to know if it works with 5.2 on Windows 10 and/or
if it fails with 6.0 on Windows 7. In other words, did Windows introduce a new
restriction or did we introduce a bug.
