2008-05-06: Im working on a Installer to run as Windows Service.

This application is for the MS Bluetooth stack, but after som hacking with the MS stack I was able to use my Broadcom/Widcomm device with MS stack instead, Im sure many of you really want this tool instead of manually connect every time.

To do this I moddified the file c:\windows\inf\bth.inf

To this :

[Broadcom.NT.5.1] Blutonium BCM2045 Bluetooth 2.4 GHz Single Chip Transceiver= BthUsb, USB\VID_0A5C&PID_200A

Broadcom 2045 Bluetooth 2.0 USB Device= BthUsb, USB\VID_0A5C&PID_2101

You get the hardware VID and PID from devicemanager if you righclick your device using the broadcom drivers. After this is done, disable the device.

Now you MUST delete/move the broadcom drivers away from windows plugnplay inspection. I did a search in c:\windows and moved all files named btw*.* to c:\temp. Press ctrl alt del and get the task manager up, close all bluetooth software running, that is bt_server, bttray etc..and move c:\program\widcomm directory to c:\temp.

Right click the device in device manager and make a driverupdate. choose from list and select microsoft version instead of broadcom. Windows will ask you to activate the device, if not, manually activate it.

NOTE! you cannot do this from a new install, only driverupdate from broadcom to microsoft! It seems like the broadcom drivers enables the device first.
