I actually thought I'd done something wrong the first time, so I tried it again. I had to restore from a backup not once but twice (definition of insanity is doing things over and over expecting a different result). It's a small consolation, I know, but I'm glad it wasn't only just me who had this problem. Thus, be warned: updating your bluetooth driver may erase your hard drive!!ĭoes anyone know if those installers have a "dry run" option to see what it would do without actually doing it? There is a thread in the microsoft forums on that: see here It seems I am not alone with that "problem".
Still I have wasted most of my working day finding the best and fastest way to recover. Lucky enough, I was finally able to restore everything with Windows 7 System Restore from the recovery tools of the advanced boot options. The btwinlog.txt shows that it went through all folders in alphabetic order and was busy deleting my files when I interrupted it. I killed the msiexec process but, of course, damage was done. I have checked the program files folder with explorer only to find empty directories. At some point I have noticed that the programs in the start menu disappeared. It started uninstalling the previous version which took strangely long.
Yesterday, I wanted to update the WIDCOMM Bluetooth Software for the Dell Wireless 375 Bluetooth Module for my E6410.
