Hello,
I installed win7 prof on my MBP 5.3 mid 2009.
I made every Update for win7
Everything works fine, but I have a problem with my bluetooth. The Bootcampdriver doesn't work so I cannot use my Magic mouse and keyboard.
Where do I find the right driver to solve the problem?
Many thanks in advance

For Windows 10 all you need is the bootcamp folder from the windows support files. And go into the drivers folder in there then apple. Click on the bootcamp application all the way at the bottom and it will repair your Bluetooth problem and any other problem too.
Hi hanfromnull,
If you are having issues with BootCamp and your Bluetooth connection to your Magic Mouse and wireless Apple keyboard, you may want to take a look at the following article:
Apple Support: Resolving issues with Windows when using Apple Magic Mouse or Apple Wireless Keyboard
http://support.apple.com/kb/TS3092
You may also want to make sure that you have installed all available updates when booted to OS X.
Cheers,

Hi Brendon,
thanks for your answer.
But that is not the Problem. I can't load a driver for my Broadcombluetooth device. I tested several bootcamp versions but in the Hardware manager the bluettoth device ist marked yellow.
I even loaded from Broadcom the setup.exe file with all the drivers. After searching the programm answers me " Couldn't find a bluetooth device.
That is very strange because zje bluetooth device is on board. Works with OS-X and before I changed to ML in Bootcamp also with Windows XP
All Updates for OS-X are also done all my programms OS are up to date. It is really annoying.
This was driving me nuts, I put in a larger SSD today going from a 120GB to a 240GB and blew away my Windows Partition to make the process easier to expand OS X, etc. After installing windows again the only thing in device manager that wouldn't load was the Bluetooh USB Host Controller. Tried every package in Bootcamp for version 4.0.4033 and 5.0.5033 and no luck.
Finally came across this site:
1) Basically Right click the Device in Device manager, Go to Properties, Select Details tab, Choose Hardware ids from Property Drop down. Copy the shortest Value, his was USB\VID_05AC&PID_8218
2) Find your bootcamp drivers and under bootcamp/drivers/apple/x64 copy AppleBluetoothInstaller64 to a folder on your desktop and unzip it. I use winrar to Extract to the same folder.
3) Find the files that got extracted/unzipped and open the file with notepad called AppleBT64.inf
4) Look for the following lines:
; for Windows 7 only
[Apple.NTamd64.6.1]
; No action
; OS will load in-box driver.
Get rid of the last two lines the following:
; No action
; OS will load in-box driver.
And add this line, paste your numbers in you got earlier for USB\VID_05ac&PID_8218:
Apple Built-in Bluetooth=AppleBt, USB\VID_05ac&PID_8218
So in the end it should look like the following:
; for Windows 7 only
[Apple.NTamd64.6.1]
Apple Built-in Bluetooth=AppleBt, USB\VID_05ac&PID_8218
5) Save the changes
6) Select Update the driver for the Bluetooth device in device manager and point it to the folder with the extracted/unzipped files and it should install the Bluetooth drivers then.

Just found this link as well that does the same thing:
Hey Daniel,
I did what you said, but when I want to install the new driver, it sais:
"The Hash value for this file isn't something something"
Any ideas how I can go on?
Disable Device Driver Signing as mentioned in here and install "Apple Build-in Bluetooth" as in above. It works!
Bluetooth Host Controller driver doesn't work
