Thread: Driver for ISSCEDRBTA Bluetooth Dongle in Vista 32-bit (x86) and 64-bit (x64)

Sorry for reviving the thread, recently downloaded the drivers to install my ISSCEDRBTA dongle on my vista machine. Kept getting "Device cannot start(Error Code 10)" on the Microsoft Bluetooth Enumerator and Bluetooth Device(RFCOMM Protocol TDI) items, seems to be linked to some bthenum.sys errors, as that file is a common driver file for these 2 items. Any of ytou guys have this problem too? Anyway this problem occured after I installed SP2 for Vista, did not have this problem prior to the installation.

How did you guys instal this on Vista 64 .. drivers are not digitaly signed ?!?!
I've deal with this problem before by sign them for myself and enableing test mode in vista.
Anyway I get the same error "Device cannot start(Error Code 10)" 'cause BthEnum service it's not running. No ideea way(I signed the drivers including bthenum.dll).

@naoki1980, Did you ever get this to work in vista x64 SP2? I have the same error code 10.

@InsaneNutter, I tried your fix, and that didn't help.

The "Microsoft Bluetooth Enumerator" has the code 10 error. "Generic Bluetooth Adapter" looks okay. In Control Panel\Bluetooth Devices, I can search for my Palm Centro, see it, and can initiate pairing. Palm pops up a passkey dialog - I put in something like 1234, and expect the vista machine to pop a dialog for passkey (this is how it works in my Lenovo T61 running xp 32 SP3) - but this never happens. As soon as I hit okay in Palm after entering a passkey, Vista errors out claiming authentication error. I suspect this is because the enumeration service is in error state, but I can't be sure. Any help would be greatly appreciated, as this is the only way I can get my Palm to sync with my machine. TIA!

okay. I finally got it to work (for the most part).

First, getting rid of the above mentioned Code 10 error. There probably is a better way to roll back drivers to earlier version, but this is what I did. Find C:\Windows\System32\drivers\bthenum.sys, then take ownership of the file, update permissions to give yourself full control. Then replace this with the same file in the zip file provided by nimrod at the beginning of this thread. Basically, we are downgrading from 6.0.6002.18005 to 6.0.6000.16386. After this is done, in device manager disable, then enable Microsoft Bluetooth Enumerator and Bluetooth Device (RFCOMM Protocol TDI). They should now work. Do keep in mind, if the bluetooth dongle is moved to a different USB port, the newer drivers would get auto installed, and you have to redo the whole thing - so make up your mind about which USB port you would keep the dongle in.

However, I still can not pair my phone (as a trusted device). Authentication error persist. I can not use my bluetooth mouse, for example. I can, however, do bluetooth sync of my phone, which was my basic goal. After the code 10 error was fixed, I was able to set up a bluetooth serial port in the vista box (for incoming connections). HotSync works over this serial port just fine, with one caveat. After every reboot of the machine, phone would not be able to connect. I have to go to HotSync connections in the vista box, change something in the settings, and then change it back - then HotSync would work. Why? I do not know. Anyone else struggling with it would probably have some other weird thing happening to them - but hopefully this post will help someone!

Thanks so much for doing this! I do have a question. I downloaded and extracted all the files to my desktop folder but when I put the dongle in I get a message saying "Device Driver Software was not Successfully installed. Please consult with your device manufacturer for assistance getting this device installed. Install failed. " Windows doesn't ask me to provide a location for the driver or install cd. How do I get to where I can tell windows where to find the drivers??
Thanks!

Thanks Insanenutter that worked but when I updated the software it gave me the error 10 code. So I tried what deyab did and I think I really messed something up. Now my generic bluetooth radio (the dongle), bluetooth enumerator, and Bluetooth Device (RFCOMM Protocol TDI) all have the yellow triangle box with the exclamation point in it next to them and when I double click on them they all say error 10 code. Please tell me I didn't really screw this up!
