Hello,

I have recently installed the following

wiimotelib, version 1.5.2
IOGear GBU221 Bluetooth Dongle
Latest Bluetooth software for Broadcom
 
I am running Windows XP SP 3.

I am able to get the Nintendo Bluetooth device to be created.

However, when I run the WiimoteTest software, I get the "No Wimmotes found in HID device list" message.

I would be grateful if anyone who has experienced and resolved similar difficulties would be willing to share their knowledge.

Here is the output from the Device Manager:

and here is the output from the library, run in debug mode:

What is interesting is that the mHandle returned by CreateFile is invalid in most cases
(mHandle.IsInvalid == true )

and the call to HidD_GetAttributes invariably fails.

Any suggestions or advice would be gratefully received.

Thanks
