If you have a Bluetooth device which is not supported directly in Windows XP and which was not designed explicitly for Windows XP with Service Pack 2 (SP2) then you are likely having problems. One such is the ISSC IS1002N "Horus" bluetooth module, one of the smallest bluetooth reference designs around and thus a fairly popular candidate for super-cheap bluetooth dongles.

Unfortunately, installing a unit based on the reference design (and driver) results in a failure to install the Microsoft bluetooth stack, and necessitating the use of a third-party stack. This is a highly unsatisfactory solution as many third-party stacks will not work properly with third-party applications. A little creative googling allowed me to find a working solution.

The first and most important thing to know about OpenGroupware.org is that the documentation is absolute crap. It is clear that first and foremost, the goal is to sell the complete server distribution that works from install. The system has become much more work-at-first than it used to be, but the install is still pretty lumpy. This document will tell you how I managed to install the latest (as of 20060530) version of OpenGroupware.org (OGo) on a fairly plain Debian sarge (currently the stable release) installation.
