Next, another file appears, do the same as above, but this time the file is called BTTray.exe. Again, click ok once it's been patched.
The third file to be patched is found in (C: )Local Disk > Windows > System32. It's a .dll file, but it's the same process as the above two steps. The forth step is also in the same location (another .dll file).
Once this is done, you may reboot your computer again.
Step 6 (Installing your Bluetooth USB drivers)
You should notice that you have a 'My Bluetooth Places' Desktop icon as well as a little bluetooth icon in the system tray (that's red). We are nearly there. All we need to do now is to plug in your bluetooth device and Windows should pop up with a 'New hardware found' box. Click on Advanced install and uncheck everything except for 'search this specific folder' (not the exact words), and click on browse. The in the new window, navigate to C: Drive > Program Files > WIDCOMM > Bluetooth Software > bin, then click on OK and it should begin installing your device automatically.
Once that is done, you should notice that your bluetooth icon in the system tray has now turned from red to white. You can double click on the icon and it should pop up with a wizard to guide you through the initial bluetooth setup process. Now you can start using pairing and using your bluetooth devices!
Some FAQs
Q: I can't be arsed to read this whole thing, is there a shorter way?
A: Probably, but this is what I did and it works.
Q: Where can I get the latest Widcomm drivers from?
A: search the forum. (Tip: search for word 'Widcomm' in this bluetooth forum)
Q: I don't have/lost my bluetooth drivers, can I still use this guide?
A: Yes, check second part of step 3
Q: I've done everything, but bluetooth seems to be flaky and I'm having problems with my bluetooth devices.
A: Check who the manufacturer of your bluetooth device is by right clicking on the bluetooth icon in the system tray, select 'Bluetooth Configuration' and then click on the 'Diagnostics' tab. In there, it will tell you the manufacturer of your bluetooth device. If it says 'Cambridge Silicon Radio' (CSR for short), then it's best to stick with the Widcomm drivers versions 5.1.0.1100 or lower. Later versions are known not to work very well with CSR manufactured devices as well as others. Reinstall with another version of the Widcomm drivers.
Q: I can't get into safe mode!
A: Hit the F8 button a bit quick multiple times as your computer is booting up (right from the very second you push the power on button). The menu should appear.
Q: I can only see btwusb, not btwusb.inf?
A: Make sure that 'Hide extensions for known file types' is turned off as per step 2 instructions.
Q: How do you open .inf files for editing in notepad?
A: Right click on the file and select 'Open with...' in the list, scroll down to notepad, left click on it and then set if you want notepad to open .inf files all the time, then select OK. Notepad should open the inf file now.
Q: There is a licence patcher (WidcommLicensePatcher), what does it do and how do I use it?
A: I don't know how to use it, maybe someone can contribute. However, I know that in effect it's supposed to authorise your USB Bluetooth device to use the Widcomm drivers, as outlined in step 5. You can do either or, you do not need to do both to get things to work.
For VISTA users:
Small update - this installation method is still valid and for many the best choice since the new widcomm stacks (above 1100) including the latest 3600 remove a wide range of compatibility.
Windows Vista users, version 5.1.0.1100 is fully compatible however in order to patch the two system32 files ownership of those files and permissions need to be modified. Do so by invoking following commands in command prompt (cmd run as admin)
takeown /f C:\Windows\System32\BTNeighborhood.dll
cacls C:\Windows\System32\BTNeighboorhood.dll /G username:F
where username is the current windows user name
If you can’t patch the two files in System32 dir, you may want to copy them to a place other than “C:” and than use the patch. After, it may happen, that you can’t delete or overwrite the ones in System32 with the patched files than you simply rename the ones in System32 to .bak and copy the patched ones. It will work for 100%

This guide is not made by me, I got it from gsmhostings. I think it is made by illusion (but sorry if I’m wrong). I did made some minor adjustments and improved it a little. Also created this full pack:
4. Widcomm 5.1.0.1100
5. Licence Pathcer v2
6. And this guide to help you
I packed this into one torrent download, so that you can easily get it. No rapidshare and other sh*ts.
A big-big thanx goes to people who made this guide, the pathcer and all the hard work!!!!!! Check out the site: http://forum.gsmhosting.com/vbb/forumdisplay.php?f=237
