The Toshiba Stack provides full Bluetooth on Windows, for everything, not just Wii Remotes.

You can download the Toshiba stack from the link below. Use the newest version; it has the highest known compatibility. If the newest version doesn't work feel free to try older ones. Note that if you attempt to force the Toshiba Stack on a dongle that is not officially supported by Toshiba it will only be a trial edition, and require you to pay them for use of the software.
