Bluetooth Stack Driver Installer
Get Bluetooth to work with the Microsoft Bluetooth stack.
About
This small freeware utility will try to install generic Microsoft driver for your bluetooth adapter. The program is based on a widely known method of patching %WinDir%\inf\bth.inf file. It works for most (but not all) bluetooth adapters, both USB dongles and built-in. (See the list of bluetooth devices and hardware IDs known to work. Note that this list is not exhaustive.)
Before making changes to your system the program automatically creates a restore point. If anything goes wrong you can use Windows System Restore feature to revert all changes made to your computer.
How to use
- Uninstall your existing bluetooth stack (driver software that came with the bluetooth adapter).
- Reboot your computer and click "Cancel" when Windows asks for the driver.
- Run BluetoothDriverInstaller.exe and follow instructions of the wizard.
Uninstallation
There is no need to uninstall Bluetooth Driver Installer itself, just delete downloaded file. To rollback changes made to you system use Windows System Restore feature (available from Start Menu - Programs - Accessories - System Tools - System Restore).
Backup copies of bth.inf file can be found in
c:\Documents and Settings\USERNAME\Application Data\BluetoothDriverInstaller\ - on Windows XP
c:\Users\USERNAME\AppData\Roaming\BluetoothDriverInstaller\ - on Windows Vista and Windows 7
Note: No changes have been made to your system if you exited the wizard on the second step (due to "No unconfigured bluetooth hardware found" error).
