Thank you. This has been helpful. A few questions:

>* Start the setup: windows asks for elevated privileges, 

Is this a yes/no prompt? Do you get the elevated privileges or do you continue without them.

>brltty configurator window appears, I
>choose Driver: auto and port: USB, then later opt to install libusb driver.

Can you confirm for me which brltty.conf file (i.e. the full path to it) gets written by the configurator?

>and am trying to run file run-brltty.bat.
>* I receive an error like this
>brltty.exe: cannot open file: //etc/brltty.conf: No such file or directory
>* Okay, perhaps there's a way around it so I then run .\bin\brltty --help and

>(X86)\brltty\etc\brltty.conf" inside so the brltty can find the config file.

I'm assuming, then, that it's this brltty.cobf, i.e. the one that's part of the install hierarchy, that the configurator is updating. I'd appreciate it if you could confirm this.

The log I see is:

   iconv open error: UTF-8 -> CP0: Invalid argument

This log is a warning, and not fatal. Could you please add -ldebug so that we can hopefully see where brltty is atually failing?
