        Thanks for this brief explanation! I don’t have a pc/laptop with bluetooth to test this but I expect people who find this topic are able to install it. Beside that you can also use the following page to install bluetooth and infrared to Windows Server 2008 x86/x64: Windows Live Blogs – Komeil – Installing Microsoft Bluetooth Stack on Windows Server 2008 x86 / x64.

        Arris – He’s talking about IrDA [Infrared], not Bluetooth 😉

          Do a CTRL+F on that page and you ‘ll see Infrared is also mentioned there! 😉

          Oh sorry… I was just skimming and saw the Bluetooth stack keywords…. Does that mean the Infrared and Bluetooth stacks are part of a similar component? Didn’t know that! Then again, i’ve never used IrDA 🙄 Sorry!

            I never used it either, except for a school project some years ago where we built a rack and a robot using Lego Mindstorms bricks and the RCX which we had to program in LeJOS and send it over to the RCX component using IrDA. The robot had to retrieve several blocks from the rack using a Travelling Salesman algorithm.

            Anyway, some people still use it for their Media Center remote control, cellphone or other hardware.

            Ah robotics, cool!

            Good point. I have a Media Center set up at my home, but it’s using a Bluetooth remote which arn’t too common.
