Reported by surfer0627 on 2014-09-16 20:43
In the operating system windows 7 (64bit), I installed FocusBlueDriver1.0.2030 for PAC Mate, and got error message:
Failed to extract the installer for FSBrlDriver64.

Then I try to install jaws (15.0.11024ENU-64bit.exe).

After that, braille display could show message:
pm display 20 3.70

If I open jaws, and the display could work on.

But I could not find and select freedomScientific in the braille settings.

I got message from NVDA log file:
Braille display driver freedomScientific reports as unavailable.

The problem is that you did not install the drivers (because the installation failed). The drivers installed by JAWS are not enough. Based on the error you provided, I'm guessing your download of the drivers did not complete properly. Please try downloading and installing them again.

Thank you for the reply.

Yes, the problem is that I did not install the drivers.

After installing Microsoft .NET Framework, the issue (Failed to extract the installer for FSBrlDriver64.) has been fixed.

Now, the PAC Mate braille display could work with my Windows 7 computer.

Sorry, I realized that this isn't a NVDA issue. It is a driver installation issue.

Glad it's fixed. What made you realise you needed the .net Framework? If this isn't clear and this is definitely the case, we should consider documenting it.

One of my friends reminds me of this (install .net framework).

I'm not sure which version is requested.

My friend said that his computer installed 4.5.1.

My computer installed 4.5.1 and other version (1.0).

Honestly, I think that documenting system requirements for a driver is the responsibility of the driver vendor, Freedom Scientific. Unless @jcsteh still feels we should document this, I lean towards closing this.

Native driver for Freedom Scientific displays (PR #8853)
327b2dd 
Braille output and wizWheels are working. Tested on a Focus 40 blue

Freedom Scientific braille displays are now supported by braille display auto detection (#7727)
When an auto detected braille display is connected via Bluetooth, NVDA will keep searching for USB displays supported by the same driver and switch to a USB connection if it becomes available

The bumper keys now work correctly on Freedom Scientific braille displays (#8849)
