Bluetooth widcomm stack windows 7

Select the option for choosing from a list. A Bluetooth stack includes the drivers and software necessary to use Bluetooth hardware. Even though your company's computers are using a different stack, such as for a Dell or Toshiba, you might. To change to the Microsoft stack all one generally needs to do is to switch the device driver handling the dongle, then the Microsoft stack will automatically start and use the dongle. At that point the Microsoft Bluetooth stack should become active.

It may be preferrable in all cases however to actually uninstall the other stack software. For instance BlueSoleil runs at start-up and grabs the Bluetooth dongle for itself even if the Microsoft stack was using it previously. This is the non-helpful reply I received: The latest versoin is what they put on the website for 6.

Improve this answer. Timmmm Timmmm So just to make sure, this is the reply from Broadcom? Who are "they"? I emailed someone at LM Technologies maker of the Bluetooth 4 dongle I bought that contains a Broadcom chip , and that guy contacted someone in Broadcom. Hacky, and more work I have to actually make the dongles but I control the entire stack in my application so it's an acceptable solution in my case. You could try and contact Broadcom but I wouldn't rate your chances In general, trying to support BLE on Windows 7 or earlier is an exercise in futility.

With the basic functionality broken, I had another look at the BlueSoleil stack, which works well with the keyboard but has minor problems with the mouse. Unfortunately it seems no longer to be supported.

Next I took an older version of the Toshiba stack and tried it with a secondary bluetooth adapter. Things still did not work properly, but at least it installed in trial mode. Next step was to make the Toshiba stack work with my inbuilt adapter.

I added the relevant vendor and product id into tosrfusb. The good thing about the Toshiba stack is that it is very configurable. It did work with each HID device seperately, but not when multiple devices were connected at once.

I then went into the advanced security configuration and tried the different combinations of server and client encryption etc. This works for me now. As Martin mentoined, Toshiba bluetooth stack can be used with non-Toshiba hardware. Broadcomm drivers making my windows 7 unusable so I tried installing Toshiba driver. Here's the steps.
