Unfortunately it doesn't work. I set the braille-driver and braille-device parameters in brltty.conf, ran command prompt with admin privileges, ran enable-brlapi.bat and got confirmation that the service was started. However, I got nothing on the braille device until I ran brltty.exe from the same command prompt.

Running brltty.exe from command prompt with a normal user, gives no braille output.

Thanks,
Lars
