Hi Samuel,
thanks for your reply.
"
What is telling you this? Is that NVDA, or is that a simple python
program that you run?"
"
nvda. I can't install standalone brlapi due to 3.

"
Honestly I haven't followed. What the message seems to be saying is that
you need the *32bit* version of python.
"
right. And that is exactly what I did, I installed python 3.8 and 3.11 
32 bit, bbut they are not detected by the installer.
