Can’t install Broadcom WiFi and Bluetooth

[Anonymous]

Hi !

Welcome to the forum.

Have you tried the “usual tricks” ?
Read “How to install programs with “server-allergy”: viewtopic.php?f=64&t=2463

I tried both tricks provided in the post above and it didn’t work. I have tried both the original driver setup and the one in BTW_6.2.1.2600_2k8r2.

The original setup from Broadcom detects Windows Vista Server and isn’t too happy about that…

I don’t know what to do because it’s the only type of connection (wireless) I have available for this laptop…

Anybody has any idea ?

Thanks !

Did you try both methods together or separetely ?
And, did you try the 3rd trick: “Extracting setup-files from an installer-package” ?

Vista ???
Which O/S do you have, are you really using WS2008-R2 ?

Hi,

I’ve tried all three tricks. I’ve shot pictures of the OS version and the error message I get…

Thanks for helping !

Edit: I’m currently reinstalling and the images are hosted on Windows 7 on my laptop so they might be on and off at times…

Why mess with software when you can correct the problem with hardware ?

Bought a cheap USB network card and it installed right through… Didn’t even have to install drivers… The card installed itself and I got connection instantly…

Thanks for helping !

Well, I haven´t done much to help you.
And as the screenshots show you are obviously using WS2008-R2… 🙂
