    Hi!

    I've been searching for a solution for my problem in the Bluetooth Examples for quite a bit on my problem but I can't seemed to find any

    I am currently using Qt5.10 with a MinGW 5.3 32bit compiler running on Windows 7 64bit.
    I have cloned the wip/win from qt/qtconnectivity.git and checked out the wip/win.
    Everything runs fine and I was able to build the project.

    However, when I ran the btscanner example, I tried to pair the device found and activated the device.
    The application outputs:
    "Unable to load 'bluetoothapis' library."
    and the program crashed.

    I'm not very sure of what the problem could be, so I'll appreciate any help that's given!

      Hi, it sounds like win 7 is not supported/tested.
      As far as i recall Qt5.10 (wip/win ) allowed to use more bluetooth on windows 10
      but im not sure win 7 is supported.
      Trying to find out.

        I see...
        Is there any other alternatives to implement Bluetooth on such configurations then?
        Thank you!

          Hi
          I cant find any info if its supported on win 7 or not.

          if it turns out that win version is not supported, you could try
          https://github.com/ftylitak/QBluetoothZero
          Not sure if win 7 support is included.

            @mrjj actually I believe its mingw thats not supported. And that currently makes it also not supported for Win7

            I have a project that uses Bluetooth. If I compile it with mingw, I see the warning in the output box "Bluetooth-DummyBackEnd" or something along the line.

            And MSVC2015 and QtBluetooth makes use of Windows10 only files, I believe.
            I wasn't able to make it run on my Win7 maschine.

              1. Nobody tested on Windows 7, e.g. I use WIndows 8(10).
              2. There are implemented the Bluetooth Low Energy support on ~90%, but for the Classic Bluetooth it is implemented only the devices and services discovery.

              The wip/win branch is still in process of development.

                I see. Thank you guys for the help!

                I'll probably get a Virtual Machine with the appropriate OS if I can't get it to work on Windows 7.
