Bluetooth install error 183

prodigalsun · 07-12-2008, 11:26 PM

Hi, I have an nlited version of xp on my eee Pc that I'm using for first my carputer project. I have a generic bluetooth dongle that I bought awhile back that I have been trying to install but without luck. Using the cd that came with the dongle I keep on getting errors on install - error code 183. To troubleshoot, I installed the drivers on a my laptop which has full xp and everyhthing worked no problem. I had a more up to date version of bluesoleil and I got the bluetooth install to complete but it doesn't seem to be operating correctly. It will communicate with my Holux m-1000 gps but when I check to see if any gps info is being communicated - nothing (i'm using a program that came with the gps to see if it's picking up co-ordinates). Along with some other tests I did I have come to the conclusion that I don't have the proper drivers and for the drivers to install from that orginal cd I'm missing some xp dependencies that it needs. I have googled and searched here also for a solution but can't really find anything. I'm thinking if I could find out what dependencies are needed I could just install them and go from there. Has someone come across this problem before or could give me some insight?

I am having the same problem with my install. Have you found out what part of XP that was deleted by Nlite to make this error occur?

Okay I figured out the problem:

In order to install BlueSoleil in a nLited version of XP you have to make sure that you didn't delete "Modem Support." It is located here: Components-->Hardware Support-->"Modem Support" Create a new ISO with this included and BlueSoleil will install fine without any errors, or it worked for me at least.
