Hello,<br>
There are issues with the current version of brltty for windows and
I am running into these as well.<br>
<br>
My steps:<br>
* Fresh install of windows 10.<br>
* Download <a
href="https://brltty.app/archive/brltty-win-6.5-0-libusb-1.0.exe"><code>brltty-win-6.5-0-libusb-1.0.exe</code></a><br>
* Start the setup: windows asks for elevated privileges, i have to
press next several times, after copying files brltty configurator
window appears, I choose Driver: auto and port: USB, then later opt
to install libusb driver.<br>
* At the end of the setup process setup configures BrlApi service
but its startup is failing.<br>
* After finishing the setup I can notice all the files are installed
into C:\Program Files (X86)\brltty.<br>
* I start command prompt as administrator, navigate to that folder
where brltty got installed and am trying to run file run-brltty.bat.<br>
* I receive an error like this<br>
brltty.exe: cannot open file: //etc/brltty.conf: No such file or
directory
<br>
* Okay, perhaps there's a way around it so I then run .\bin\brltty
--help and also inspect the bat file which I can modify by adding -f
"C:\Program Files (X86)\brltty\etc\brltty.conf" inside so the brltty
can find the config file.<br>
* In order to try to reinstall the BrlApi service I am applying the
same tweak to the enable-brlapi.bat file.<br>
* Then running disable-brlapi.bat and again enable-brlapi.bat.<br>
* There are no more errors related to file not found.<br>
* However while trying to start the service I am always receiving
error like this no matter how much I am trying.<br>
Error 1067: 'The process terminated unexpectedly'<br>
* Then I have opened services applet, navigated to BrlApi service
and added the following to the arguments entry fields in the service
properties window:<br>
-f "C:\Program Files (X86)\brltty\etc\brltty.conf" -L "C:\Program
Files (X86)\brltty\svc.log"<br>
So it can find its config file and also it can output what's going
on into the log.<br>
The log is brief but hopefully gives enough pointers on what needs
changing. I think it needs a source code change.<br>
<br>
Greetings<br>
<br>

<br>
I simply don't like older versions of software.
<br>
<br>
There must be some bug in Brltty because some people have similar
problems even in Windows 11.

<blockquote type="cite">Hello,
<br>
i am not martin, but i have the same problem to use a tieman
combibraille
<br>
or voyager under windows with nvda and brltty.
<br>
<br>
Both brailledisplays work fine under linux (Debian 11). The
cursorrouting-
<br>
keys of the combibraille will not work under linux (brltty
6.5.5)
<br>
<br>
Under windows 10 i have installed python 3.8.7 32 bit (Dave has
writen
<br>
here in this list this version!). I can compile the brlapi 0.81
from
<br>
brltty 6.2.x. but i can not build the brlapi 0.82, 0.83 or 08.84
from the
<br>
versions of brltty 6.3.x, 6.4.x, 6.5.x.
<br>
<br>
The same python version, how compiles the brlapi 0.81, shows the
error,
<br>
that there is no python 32 version, how is needed.
<br>
<br>
You can find the file, which compiles the needet dll files, in
the brltty/
<br>
python/ directory.
<br>
<br>
Without this compiled files, nvda will not connect to the brltty
<br>
brailledriver.
<br>
<br>
Sorry for my english, but i hope, you can understand, what i
mean,
<br>
<br>
martin, why do you not use the python 3.8.7, as Dave it wrote in
thes
<br>
list.
<br>
<br>
Regards
<br>
<br>
Dietmar
