well, i'm having problem with this guys. there are many threads that talk about this but none specify how to make it work under an unattended installation sucesfully.
i own a conceptronic usb bluetooth device to transfer files with my mobile phone (t610).
installation was simple with xp versions before sp2. it uses a .msi installer, running the it with the "/qb" switch worked: installation complete without prompts, drivers were installed sucesfully, the explorer shell extensions were added with no problems and so on...
i tried the same installation (that was ran from cmdlines sucesfully before) with sp2, after a short of time, a new system properties window popups with the "Hardware" tab selected (!?) :angry: . I tried running the installation from RunOnceEX, removing "Search internet for drivers" prompt and removing native SP2 bluetooth support with nLite and still didn't work :realmad:
after installation it's finished the "My Bluetooth Places" icon it's displayed on the desktop. finally the installation it's tested on M$ virtual pc as before, i haven't had the oportunity to use a "real" pc yet. anyone having the same problem solved it (unattended)?

i have a nokia 6600 and i had the same problem-ish, sp2 insists on using its gerryatric drivers, i searched long and hard for a resolution to my dilemma, and finally i found one, there is no way of doing it unattended unless the drivers are digitally signed, so i settled for using the gerryatric ones and using com500 which sp2 assigns to a virtual serial connection and it also adds a nice little context menu to my right click for device connection of pc suite, the other way i found was installing the software for my BT device and then goto control panel > system > hardware > device manager > expand bluetooth radios > R/C on generic bluetooth radios > update driver > no not this time - next > install from a list or specific location - next > don't search, i will choose the driver to install - next > click have disk - then locate the inf file for your BT device - next> then it should install the driver for your BT device, i have not found a way of doing this unattended though

Added to $OEM$\$1\Drivers all dirs named 001 to 050
After that add drivers to dirs (must contain *.inf files in the root of each dir.
Added also a txt file as index.
