Anyone able to help me with a problem?
I bought a slinky little plugin usb dongle for my netbook. works fine for connecting my phone etc, but I want to use it for music too.
The drivers are on a cd, which includes "bluesoleil" interface,but netbook has no cd drive, so I copied all the files and transferred them to my netbook.
Can i get it to autoinstall from a folder, rather than off a disk?
I wouldn't bother, but I think the software has the A2DP drivers so i can use my bluetooth headphones as XP doesn't have them by default
thanks in advance fellas.
If you edit the autorun.inf in notepad, work out which exe it's running and run it yourself?
If it's having problems launching from a folder you could map the folder to a drive letter.
Make an iso of the disk, then mount it on the lappy with daemon tools and run like that?
If there's a driver folder on the disc, then you could you install them using the INF file? Presumably you would then have an additional audio output to choose from in Control Panel, so it's just a case of forcing audio to go through the new output.
I'm around twiddling my thumbs for a few days so can help out over Teamviewer if you like
Can you not go to the support site for the product and download the installer.
Another way I install stuff on netbooks is share a cd drive over the network can be handy down the line once setup save arseing about.

Failing the above methods it might be a good idea to invest in a cheap external DVD drive. They can be had for ?35 (DVD writer) or less (DVD reader). Then you have it for whenever you need it at home.
The easiest method should be what mysterym said as often these dongles are unbranded so finding the site for a download is hard. Generic drivers should work but if you download BlueSoleil it will be a pay for version.
I'm thinking rikman's solution sounds best, risk with using inf files is you may end up with drivers but no software package or bluetooth stack.
Also just to add, if you have a el-cheapo (or expensive) 3.5" IDE caddy, you can plug a normal CD/DVD drive into it, and then that into the netbook and it'll work perfectly.
This is how I installed Windows on my Asus EeePC900 and then software off disk.
This is a real long shot but if you have the xbox 360 hd-DVD drive you should be able to use that as an external drive...?
