Hi there, I was wondering if someone could help me get this program running on windows 7

I get the error

WiiRemote Failed to conect!
Not Supported on winsock

what does this mean?

I am using the generic bluetooth stack that comes with Windows 7 and I am able to use Smoothboard with it.

I thought I had installed bluecove, but I may be wrong.

Any help would be appreciated.

Hi prometheus2785,

Not Supported on winsock

what does this mean?

[...]

I thought I had installed bluecove, but I may be wrong.

it means that my application doesn't work with the built-in "winsock" Bluetooth stack by Microsoft. It looks like you need WIDCOMM in order for it to work...

Btw, there's no need to install BlueCove, it comes bundled with my application.

Sorry for the late reply,
Uwe

 Thanks, can you point me in the direction I'd need to go to find information on installing WIDCOMM?

The latest Widcomm is just MS Bluetooth rebadged it will not work with Jave you need the Widcomm v4 (not sure if v5 will work but def not with .Net apps).

I've nothing to add. It's been a while since I dealt with Bluetooth on Windows...

Hi Prometheus,

had you  successfully install the drivers?? How did you did it?
I found a hard way to do it, changning windows configuration and patching... just wanted to know if there's a easier way to install widcomm drivers.
or if you find an easer way to run it.

edit:

I have already tried to install widcomm drivers in a pc patching the drivers because the device didn't included widcomm with it.

it didn't worked (Problem with Bluetooth stack of API).  I also tried blocking windows drivers renaming btw.inf and btw.pnf

then i used a usb dongle which included widcomm drivers 6, no way
i realized that in vista there's an issue with bluecove:
For BlueCove v2.0.x: On Vista WIDCOMM stack detected as Microsoft with all the benefits of one. If you need L2CAP support on Vista and Broadcom v6 use custom bluecove.dll build

i replace the .dll with the ones of the custom build, but still didn't work.

well, if somebody had this problem, how have you solved it?

and, uwe, maybe i'm the only one who have problems with the windows connection but, do you think it could be possible a version without the connection assitance? so we can conect from windows and then use your program.

by the way, no problem with it in linux, thank you, but i have to use it also with windows


Thank you all

finally i solved the problem.

it seems it doesn't work with widcomm v6.

you must install widcomm drivers following the steps descrived in here:

downloading drivers from here:

finally no problem with it. thanks uwe
