I am developing with a friend a small client server bluetooth application (an opensource project, perhaps more information here soon) and the target environment is Windows. So I’m using Parallels(*), in coherence mode with bluetooth and so on 
Bluetooth support on virtual machines w/ Parallels Desktop for Mac? – Parallels Support Forum
Yes, you may use built-in bluetooth adapter, but you need drivers for it.The easiest way to get those drivers is:
1. Download and install latest Apple Boot Camp from http://www.apple.com/macosx/bootcamp/
2. Browse to Macintosh HD->Applications->Utilities
3. Right-click the “Boot Camp Assistant” and select “Show Package Contents”.
4. Go to Contents->Resources and click the DiskImage.dmg to mount it.
5. Find the “Install Macintosh Drivers for Windows XP.exe” and copy inside your VM.
6. Run the file. In a short while, all necessary drivers will be installed. RebootPS: We can’t redistribute Apple software, that is why you don’t have bluetooth drivers by default.
(*) I had also some strange problems with my upgrade to 3170 RC3, the screen was black at startup, fortunately the Parallels forum rocks and I found that you simply have to start WinXP in “safe” mode, then reinstall the Paralllels tools, not from the menu, but mounting that from the parallels installation, then you’ll find them mounted on the D: letter of your Parallels winXP.

Thanks, works great.
Can’t get jabra bluetooth headset to pair with XP VM.
I’ve successfully done all of the above: bluetooth icon is in my windows satilite area, I clicked ‘add device’.
But it won’t discover my jabra bluetooth headset. Has anyone got a bluetooth headset to work?
I’d like to use a bluetooth headset with MSIM.

I have bootcamp 2 and can’t find the file you mention. I have boot camp drivers intaller for windows xp but my mac’s internal BT antenna is not recognized by window(shit). Any recommendations? Thanks in advance
Same as Nicolas Dijkstra here… Got Leopard and diskimage.img is NOT part of the package. How do we proceed from there?
It seems like they removed those libraries on the new leopard version. As soon as I’ll have some time I’ll try to find out and help you guys… A solution can be take the old one, they should work.
I promise I’ll put the files here
