– Problem with my Lenovo W520 –
I previously had Bluetooth working pretty well under R2 on my T61p using ASCIIWolf’s bluetooth stack and patched Broadcom drivers.
I tried the same process on my new W520 and I can’t get it to work.
The Broadcom drivers are giving me an error saying that they can’t find the Bluetooth device. Is the driver too old for this new hardware?
I am able to install the Lenovo version of this driver but that has its own problems. Using the Lenovo driver I can find my bluetooth mouse and pair it. Once paired, the device will show up in my bluetoth devices list but it will not function. Examining the properties the device does not serface any bluetooth services and I never see Windows detect a new HID-interface device or load the mouse drivers.
Thoughts on getting this to work?
Thanks!

Hi Asciiwolf,
I can confirm that I had run the bluetooth.7z first. I remember the messages about removing the test mode text and rebuilding the MUI.
I re-ran the bluetooth.7z file from the command line as administrator and then rebooted my machine.
Everything appears to be working now. Thanks for the help.

OK,
Made it past the license problem.
I ran the Lenovo installer from a command prompt that was started as the Administrator account.
The Lenovo driver appeared to install without a problem. However, when it finished, I got an error:
BTTray.exe – System Error
The program can’t start because irprops.cpl is missing from your computer. Try reinstalling the program to fix this problem.
OK
I haven’t looked at this yet but wanted to post progress past the license error.

Looks like you don’t have a bluetooth device with Broadcom chip…
I don’t think that’s the problem…
I have a Lenovo T61p.
After your last reply, I tried downloading the Bluetooth software from Lenovo.
Their drivers appear to be the same or similar Broadcomm drivers you have.
I attempted to install the Broadcomm drivers from Lenovo by using the Orca trick above on their .MSI file.
I recevied the same license error as above.
Thoughts?
Thanks!

Thanks ExpertUser,
I was able to get past my initial error.
Now I am getting:
Bluetooth Software
An unknown error occurred with your Bluetooth
Software license. [1]
OK
I have installed the MS Bluetooth Stack.
I am truing to install the Broadcomm Drivers from Asciiwolf.
I have copied the files to my Windowsinf folder as described in the readme.txt.
I am getting an error:
Bluetooth Software
“Setup has detected an incompatible version of Windows”
OK
I am running Server 2008 R2 x64.I have seen several others on this thread and on the Technet thread with this error.
Has anyone found a solution?
Thanks!
