I have now revisited Win2K Pro, Win XP Pro and bluetooth with NCF 1.2 and I have managed to use my procedure by using changes given below.

Q: How to use NCF 1.2 bluetooth with S60 3rd Edition for Symbian C++ MR

http://discussion.forum.nokia.com/fo...ad.php?t=85754


I have a new belkin bluetooth adapter

new belkin bluetooth adapter

I loaded Broadcomm bluetooth software supplied set discovery enabled and "paired" with my Nokia 6230i.
I tried to install the NCF BT USB driver but it failed.

I unpluged the Belkin USB device, then removed the broadcomm/WIDCOMM software via the "Add/Remove Programs".

When I inserted the BT USB the "Found new hardware" program wants the USB driver from path "C:\Nokia\Tools\Nokia_Connectivity_Framework\configuration\addons\ncfbt" and select ncfbt.inf.
The driver is now installed and device can be seen in the Control Panel displays the NCF USB driver.

Then I just used the "Q: How to use NCF 1.2 bluetooth with S60 3rd Edition for Symbian C++ MR" as before.

I could discover my phone as before in s60 2nd ed FP3.
There is currently no link from Java to WIDCOMM or Broadcomm software in Windows 2000

Carbide.C++ and Carbide.j 1.5 work under Windows 2000 and runs the procedure descibed in this thread.
Many problems come from the fact that they need to use the C: drive and one of my windows is installed on E: and D:
which cause problems, but its not the Operating System fault

When you install any S60 SDK the install sometimes points to a drive other than C: You must take the Custom install path and change the path to C:\Symbian from D:\Symbian.
NCF only searches C: for the SDK integration files.


The main advantage here is that you do not need to upgrade to Windows XP and of course you dont need a XP SP2 bluetooth compatible BT USB adapter just one listed in path "C:\Nokia\Tools\Nokia_Connectivity_Framework\configuration\addons\ncfbt" and select ncfbt.inf.

Somtimes you can change the parameter in this file to support USB as I have done in the discussion.

Hi Jim

You have done great work on the BT & W2000 & W XP area
when new comer starts to develop apps on BT area.

I hope that Nokia guys read all your articles too,
and hopefully they start to think, what is real
world notes and instructions what is needed
when starting to develop apps on for example
BT area.

I have seen a lot of BT pdf-documents from Nokia's
site, but never ever seen how to prepare
sofware environment and what real tools and versions
are needed for fully functioning BT software development
environment.
