    I have been trying to install Windows Server 2008 Enterprise (32bit), and now everything is working using vista drivers, except no driver can be installed for three devices:

    HardwareID=BTH\MS_BTHBRB
    Description=Microsoft Bluetooth Enumerator
    Type=Bluetooth Radios

    HardwareID=BTH\MS_BTHPAN
    DescriptionBluetooth Device (Personal Area Network)
    Type=Network Adapters

    HardwareID=BTH\MS_RFCOMM
    DescriptionBluetooth Device (RFCOMM Protocol TDI)
    Type=Network Adapters

    Anyone figured out how to install these?

    Thanks!

    Not sure about Windows Server 2008 but the way I install Microsoft Bluetooth stack for Z is go to C:\Windows\inf directory (hidden), find bth.inf file, edit it by adding in the ALPS section

    Alps Bluetooth Z Adapter= BthUsb, USB\Vid_044e&Pid_3017

    saving it, and then letting Windows to install driver. It'll then automatically install all other dependent drivers including MS_BTHBRB, MS_RFCOMM, MS_BTHPAN.
