You are seriously over thinking this. By "manually" I simply meant "without a prior installation step like pairing". All you do is follow the procedure outlined in the guide.

Seriously, that's it. No fiddling with control panel, no installation, nothing. You simply need to have working bluetooth; then open the wiimote config in Dolphin, and press Refresh then 1+2 on the wiimote. That's all..
In hindsight, I suppose the guide should mention that you need bluetooth working for a wiimote to connect. I'll make sure to add that sometime.
