I thought I would share a discovery I made yesterday for all of those who struggle with the Bluetooth compatability within LabVIEW.
I have had lots of problems deploying Bluetooth applications written in LabVIEW because of the limited hardware support (being tied to the MS BT stack). The bulk of my problems have been with people using laptops that have built in Bluetooth radios, the vendor's drivers tend to hijack the BT radio and prevent anything else working .
I stumbled upon a website yesterday where somebody has created an update for the XP drivers which includes support for an additional 116 devices. I have installed it on a Dell laptop which would not let me use the MS drivers and it is now running my LabVIEW application.
I hope it is of some use:
