This is a typical Windows UAC Yes/No prompt. If I grant it it continues 
with elevated privileges.

It generates file at
C:\Program Files (X86)\brltty\etc\brltty.conf
This is with 64 bit edition of Windows.
I gues it would be
C:\Program Files\brltty\etc\brltty.conf
with 32 bit edition of Windows.

Yes I have checked date modified of this file and it corresponds with 
the time I was running the setup

Okay, thanks for the hint, I will post back with a new log shortly.


Greetings
