[BRLTTY] Introducing myself, and a question regarding BRLTTY for Windows

[Felix Grützmacher - Help Tech Elektronik GmbH]

Hello Lars,
now here is the weird part. I can use it with Narrator but not when
installing it manually.
It's frustrating because I'd love to test outside the confines of that one
implementation context.
Kind regards,
Felix

Sorry for the lack of response until now.

I'm still not able to install the libusb driver from brltty-libusb-1.0.inf,
and so, I've no luck using the Handy Tech Active Braille on Windows. Today I
tried whith 5.5, from the zip file brltty-win-5.5-1-libusb-1.0.zip. When I
right click the .inf file and choose Install, I get the message that says
there is no information about signature in the inf file from 3rd party. I
found an article that mentioned doing:

  bcdedit /set testsigning on

but that didn't make any change. The article:
<https://docs.microsoft.com/en-us/windows-hardware/drivers/install/the-tests
igning-boot-configuration-option>.

I did not disable BitLocker or Secure boot, but the bcdedit operation was
repported as successful.

So if Felix or someone else is able to use Active Braille with BRLTTY on
Windows, it would be nice to hear how you did it.

Thanks and regards, Lars
