Default Toshiba Bluetooth Stack - stalls at 10% on installation

This is a double issue.

I have a Toshiba Qosmio G30-163 running MCE XP SP3. I am re-installing
the drivers after a corrupted registry problem.

The laptop has Bluetooth hardware installed. I have downloaded the
latest Toshiba BT Stack s/w for XP and am trying to install it. I get
so far. The installation succeeds to the 99% mark. Then another window
opens "Installing Bluetooth Drivers." It has a blue progress bar. It
stalls at 5 bars = 10% complete. It hangs there - although there is
considerable activity on the main hard drive. Eventually I cancel the
installation. The main installation window responds with Installation
Completed. But the BT service doesn't work.

I have raised a ticket with Sitecom but the response was to remove all
drivers because the dongle is simply plug and play. This is wrong. The
device will not work without the drivers!!!

====

I am also trying to install a Sitecom Bluetooth CN-516 dongle on my
Acer Aspire One 532h running Win 7 Starter. I am trying to install the
latest Toshiba BT Stack s/w for Win 7 (32-bit). Again this seems to
get to about 99% completion. Then another window opens "Installing
Bluetooth Drivers." It has a blue progress bar. It too stalls at 5
bars = 10% complete. It hangs there - although again there is
considerable activity on main hard drive. Then a popup window opens
"Insert Bluetooth Device" which I have actually already done. I click
on OK. Five minutes later the same popup window appears again
requesting that the BT device be plugged-in. I click on OK. This is
repeatable. Eventually I cancel the installation. The main
installation window responds with Installation Completed. But the
device doesn't work.

What's going wrong please? Many thanks.

snipped for brevity

Looks like the registry problem is still there,
I'd perform a system restore

Many thanks - hmm - I'd thought of that then I found this solution:

After battling all weekend I finally got the BT stack to install.

Apparently the problems this was caused by the Windows XP (SP2) stack
conflicting with the
Toshiiba stack - a common problem apparently.

The solution is he

http://bluetoothinstaller.com/

The exact problem is described he

http://support.microsoft.com/kb/840635

However this appears to be an issue with both XP and Win 7 and
specifically the bth.inf file.

I raised the above issue with Toshiba Tech. Support (who produced the
stack and drivers) who were useless.

So now the damn BT does work - although its a bit clunky.

I guess this is yet another case of Microsoft and Toshiba (et al) not
bothering to communicate with each other and own the problem of
conflicting s/w.

BTW The problem with installing the Toshiba BT stack on my Acer was
solved by the same means. Again it was a conflict.

Glad you got it working.

I had to test out a Bluetooth adapter on my XP machine
and it worked ok...but I had problems after I uninstalled it...
so even though I do not use Bluetooth I had to reinstall the driver
