I foolishly decided to upgrade my usb bluetooth drivers and as a result they are now non-functional, good job there Broadcom.

Of course, as sods law dicates, there is no uninstall for these drivers or anyway to roll back to a previous version as they insist on using their stupid little installer/verifier tool.

So has anyone any idea how I can remove these b0rked drivers and attempt a re-install.

I'm using Vista x64 and rolling back the bluetooth radio adapter via Device Manager is a no go :(.
 
Ok, I've uninstalled the dongle, removed the infs and cleared the reg key.

The Broadcom setup cannot start the Microsoft Bluetooth stack to install any bluetooth drivers and the original drivers that came with the dongle will not install as apparently a more modern version is already installed.

This is absurd! Any other ideas?
 
Damn, this is always the case. If I have a problem, then no-one can help =)

Luckly I traced the installer through procmon and gutted all references to relevant bluetooth entries, FIXED!
