Boot camp x64 unsupported

I am getting this message"bootcamp x64 is unsupported in this computer model" when I try instal it. Please help.

Hold Control and click.
Select "Troubleshoot Compatibility"
Then choose "use to work in Vista" or something.
Microsoft probably does see error messages from Action Center and gives an idea of level of support.

Boot camp x64 unsupported on new MBA 2013

I just received my new Macbook Air and added with boot camp a partition ofr windows 8 x64. Have used the updated boot camp support drivers 5.05033 and still received error: "Boot camp x64 unsupported on this computer". Network adapter, ethernet and, multimedia drivers not installed. What can I do?

I'm waiting for the same solution ;(

Cant install 3 or 3.1 "Boot Camp x64 is unsupported on this computer model"

Hello there, i got the latest mac mini in september last year (2009), with bootcamp 3.1 out today etc i finally fired up bootcamp, partitioaned, installed windows 7 etc.
Now windows 7 is working, but when it comes to install the latest 3.1 update, the display driver installs, then nothing else happens!!! so i figured i need to install the old 3 version first of my leapord disk, however that just gives the error "Boot Camp x64 is unsupported on this computer model".
so i manually extracted the files from the 3.1 file "BootCamp3.164-bit" and tried running the "BootCampUpdate64.msp" file manually, this gives the error: "The upgrade patch cannot be installed by the Windows Installer service because the program to be upgraded may be missing, or the upgrade patch may update a different version of the program. Verify that the program to be upgraded exists on your computer and that you have the correct upgrade patch."
Arghghghghghghg!!!!

This worked for me. I actually copied the Boot Camp folder on to my desktop and removed the ATI drivers prior to running the 3.0 Boot Camp. 3.1 installed with no problems after a reboot.
Mine works after following ccarlise's steps above. The first time I did it (without removing the ATI drivers), it crashed and went into the blue screen. After rebooting, the screen res changed to 800x600 and if I remember correctly, the video driver became "unknown". In the Device Manager (Control Panel > System & Security > System), my Display Adaptor driver ATI Mobility Radeon HD 4670 (Microsoft Corp WDDM 1.1) had an exclamation mark on the item and needed to be "updated", back to the same thing.
After rebooting, the original screen res came back fine and I reinstalled Boot Camp without the ATI drivers.
Everything went fine from then on. The only thing is that in Apple Software Update, Boot Camp 3.1 still shows up as an option. The scrolling function on my Apple Magic Mouse works, so I'm assuming that the 3.1 update was successful...
Thanks guys for the tips!

BootCamp 5.0 error on 13" MacBook Pro Mid-2010: "Installation Error. Boot Camp x64 is unsupported on this computer model"

Installing Boot Camp 5.0.5033 (downloadable at http://support.apple.com/kb/DL1638) on Windows 8 x64 on 13” MacBook Pro Mid-2010 using BootCamp\setup.exe, I get the following message: “Installation Error. Boot Camp x64 is unsupported on this computer model”.
According to http://support.apple.com/kb/HT5634, Windows 8 x64 is not supported by Boot Camp 5 on 13” MacBook Pro Mid-2010 .
Previous version, Boot Camp 4.0, causes bluescreens on Windows 8 (https://discussions.apple.com/message/20131524#20131524).
Fortunately, it might be still possible to employ updated Boot Camp by launching “msiexec /i BootCamp.msi” from BootCamp\Drivers\Apple folder using administrative command prompt (http://technet.microsoft.com/en-us/library/cc947813%28v=WS.10%29.aspx).
However, new Boot Camp 5.0.5033 does not contain all the drivers for 13” MacBook Pro Mid-2010. E.g. driver for NVIDIA nForce System Management Controller (labeled Other devices/Coprocessor in Control Panel) and NVIDIA nForce PCI Systems Management (labeled Other devices/SM Bus Controller in Control Panel) must be obtained at Drivers\NVidia\NVidiaChipset64 in older Boot Camp 4.0 (downloadable at http://support.apple.com/kb/DL1634)
According to Microsoft (http://windows.microsoft.com/en-US/windows-8/system-requirements), the MacBook Pro config (Intel Core 2 Duo P8600 2.4GHz, 4GB RAM) exceeds Windows 8 x64 hardware requirements. Windows Experience Index for this laptop is approx. 5.1 (http://windows.microsoft.com/en-US/windows-8/what-windows-experience-index).
Does anybody know, is there any technical reason why Windows 8 x64 is not supported by Boot Camp 5 on 13” MBP Mid-2010?
Is there a specific hardware/firmware deficiency in this MacBook model, incompatible with Win8? Maybe NVIDIA refused to provide Win8-compatible drivers for its chipset components (GeForce 320M graphics card though is still supported by latest notebook drivers available at www.geforce.com)?

Thanks for the detailed explanation! If MacBook supports AHCI/SATA only in native “UEFI mode”, while reverting back to PATA/IDE in legacy “BIOS mode”, then it could make perfect sense to use UEFI to make sure that technology like Native Command Queuing (NCQ) is employed, as it may give noticeable performance improvements for certain operations: www.happysysadm.com/2012/12/intel-g530-nas-performance-part-3.html. I wonder how do you get Windows 8 x64 with EFI bootloader installed on MacBook?
Simply choosing EFI Boot (“Some EFI platforms support both UEFI and BIOS firmware. On some of those systems, it is not always clear if the default DVD boot option is an EFI or BIOS boot option. On these systems, using the EFI shell command may be required. If you do not specifically start Windows Setup by using the EFI boot entry, the default firmware boot entry for BIOS may be used. If Windows Setup starts in BIOS mode on a combined EFI/BIOS system, the ESP and MSR partitions are not created.”) from Win8 x64 DVD when installing on blank HDD would yield “The computer restarted unexpectedly or encountered an unexpected error. Windows installation cannot proceed" message. Also, if the hard drive was not in SATA mode during Windows installation, registry tweaking may be required before switching from PATA to SATA. Do you do registry tweaking and EFI bootloader configuration manually after a copy of Windows was installed in its dedicated partition in a regular way?

Boot Camp x64 is unsupported on this model

I am in a panic mode and I need assistance. I have a mid-2007 iMac running Mountain Lion and I just attempted to install Windows 7 using Boot Camp. The Windows 7 installation went fine but I am unable to install Boot Camp and am therefore unable to get back to OSX. Here is what I have attempted so far:
1) Ran setup.exe from CD as admin. That is when I get the message that Boot Camp x64 is unsupported on this model
2) Copied the contents of the CD to a local Windows drive and ran from there. Same error.
3) Tried running setup.exe in compatibility mode. Same error.
4) Ran BootCamp64.msi and then BootCamp.msi from the command prompt running as administrator. I was able to install the drivers this way but the Boot Camp utility that would allow me to get back to OSX did not install.
5) I fried my Apple keyboard with the 'option' key on it and have been using a Microsoft keyboard for several months now. The instructions indicate that I would be able to select a startup disc if I were to hold down the 'option' key while restarting the computer. However, since I do not have an 'option' key on my Microsoft keyboard, I am unable to get back to OSX.
So, now my Mac is stuck in permanent Windows mode with no escape.
Any help would be greatly appreciated.
Thanks.

Boot Camp doesn't support 64-bit Windows on your computer. See > http://support.apple.com/kb/HT1846 Install the 32-bit version

Error: boot camp x64 is unsupported on this computer model

After installing win 7 x64 bit on bootcamp (on Mac OS 10.6 running x64 bit) I insert the Mac OS X DVD and run the setup file, and get this error:
error: boot camp x64 is unsupported on this computer model
Does anyone know what the issue here is?
Thanks.

To get the Bootcamp64 to install, all you needed to do was copy off the OS X DVD to a folder in Windows, and then CTRL + CLICK on the install file and use Troubleshoot Compatibility.
That is all if you got it installed.
If you have trouble and cant' install and get "Select CD-ROM: 1 or 2" then you have another EFI related issue (Search Google or I have link) and need to reburn a modified ISO and DVD.
I find the supported/unsupported falls strictly on EFI and nothing else, and is a real stretch of imagination.
Windows 64-bit (Vista/7) adds supported for EFI and won't natively boot on Macs with older EFI only UEFI 2.x that came out in late '07 or early '08 is all.
I guess too much to make clear why or how to get the installer to actually work. I have Windows 7 Pro 64-bit on 2006 Mac Pro (unsupported) works great.

If you look at the Boot Camp system requirements located here for your computer http://support.apple.com/kb/HT5634.
You will find that your computer can not run a 64 bit Windows OS and it requires version 4 of the support software for 32 bit Windows 7.

If you can grab Boot Camp 3.0 thru 3.x you should be able to get the drivers you need.
Apple took more agressive steps to really lock out and lock down drivers from being used and installed on systems that did not fall under the guide of 'supported'.
So if you have 10.6 DVD that does have Boot Camp 3.0 on it and you would need to update to 3.2, which use to be posted for manual download (so could do so even from Windows) if not thru the Apple Software Update utility in Windows.
If you can find a more "no we won't allow you to" I have never seen it.
And Google as best you can.

Why? boot camp x64 is unsupported on this computer model

Hi,
My iMac is a mid 2010 one,
and I installed bootcamp and Windows 7 Home Premium x64.
I downloaded Bootcamp5 windows software, and when i run setup, i get the error message window saying :
Installation Error
bootcamp x64 is unsupported on this comuter model.
I thought that my iMac is elgible for Windows x64.
What am I doing wrong?

I think I got it.
my iMac is a 21.5" one and I must get bootcamp4 sw.
off I go to download it.

Get message "Boot Camp x64 is unsupported on this computer model"

I'm attempting to install Windows 7, x64 Professional, onto an equal partition on this Imac. I've always had trouble with this computer and an earlier model, but we just got a brand new computer and had no problems installing windows 7 on the new computer. I wanted to wipe this one (we had to manually locate and install drivers previously, with mixed results) and reinstall everything so that it would be my computer.
After erasing and reinstalling OS X, snow leopard (full updates), I followed the bootcamp assistant, giving equal partition space to both os. I followed the instructions for updating windows, it's now fully updated with the standard windows updates. So, so far, both os have been fully updated, just nothing in addition. I've waited to install anything other than mozilla and a widget application.
I've even tried using the install disk from the newest computer, with the same results. Any suggestions out there that might help?

Can't install the Apple SETUP.exe off the OS X DVD in Windows
Copy to folder first
Navigate to Apple\Drivers\BootCamp64
Control + click on the file, and select "Troubleshoot Compatibility" mode
That will let you install the drivers.
The iMac mid-2008, even though it had 64-bit processor, and even though MacBook and MacBook Pro could use 64-bit, and iMac has Penryn processor, it doesn't have EFI64 (UEFI 2.x). The MacBook was later dropped, I guess to differentiate?
Anyway, it is possible.
I thought you were having trouble installing and booting from Windows 7 x64, which when it does occur, is a more difficult issue.

Late 2013 MBP "Boot Camp x64 is unsupported on this computer model"

Hey yall, some help would be fantastic.
Got my brand new Late 2013 MBP (top end model with the Nvidia GeForce GT 750M) on Thursday and had no problems getting it set up. Having gotten the OSX side all set up, last night I Bootcamped it. The new Bootcamp Assistant did a great job of loading my Windows 7 ISO onto one Flash drive and Bootcamp Assistant 5.0.5433 on the other Flash drive.
Had no problems during installation but the Bootcamp Support Tools didn't install, so I went to install it (attempted to run the setup file) and received this error:
Uh oh.
Using the internet (on my iPad) I was able to learn of a workaround to call the installation by negotiating to "Bootcamp\Drivers\Apple\" and executing the Bootcamp.msi as admin. It appeared to install everything.
However, when I went to change the resolution, I noticed that Windows was using a generic driver and that my max resolution was 1600x1200.
If I could launch a game w/out it immediately crashing, I would have chalked it up to Windows being Windows, but they did and I started digging (assuming that it was an application issue). Tried installing drivers downloaded from Nvidia's website for the 750M but they failed to find applicable hardware. Now concerned, I validated that I had received the correct version of MBP.
Eventually used a tool from M$'s website to remove the Bootcamp Support Software and then downloaded Bootcamp Support Software version 5.0.5033, where I ran into the exact same issue. Perhaps related, perhaps not, but the wireless on the Windows side takes a long time to connect and appears unreliable/periodically slow. That suggests that the wireless drivers weren't installed correctly either.
I have no problem reinstalling Windows, but I'm not convinced that its the problem. The initial error message suggests to me that the Bootcamp Support Software isn't recognizing my MBP. Any thoughts?
Thanks!

Hi,
it took me finally 4 days to setup Windows 7 via bootcamp. The drivers that are downloaded via bootcamp do not work when installing from a flash drive. Here is what I did to fix the issue with "CD/DVD driver missing...." which would show right after you select the language during installation.
While in OS X, go to the intel website and download the the driver for USB 3.0. Place the file on your windows partition. Boot again, hold the option key and select your flash drive which has the Windows 7 installer on it. Once you get the error message, click browse and locate the driver on your windows partition. Once installed, Windows 7 installs without any problems.

"Boot Camp x64 is unsupported on this computer model"

i am attempting to install drivers for 64-bit version of windows 7 on my Macbook Pro i got in September 2010, and i keep getting the message listed above. According to the following link: http://support.apple.com/kb/HT1846 , my computer should be able to run 64 bit windows through bootcamp
the problem may be that the mac osx installion disc i am using is out of date relative to my laptop. how do i get a more up to date Mac OS installion disc?

What operating system does your computer have? If you are running Lion then Vista is not supported.

Error message saying "Boot cam x64 is unsupported on this computer model" Anyone can help?

Hi! After Windows is installed, (step 3 done) I get an error message when installing Windows assistance software (step 4). It says "Boot Camp x64 is unsupported on this computer model". Anyone can help?
Version française:
Je suis à faire l'installation et la configuration de Bootcamp mais rendue à l'étape d'installler le logiciel d'assistance de Windows (étape 4, disque préalablement gravé à l'étape 2), j'obtiens le message d'erreur suivant: "Bootcamp x64 is unsupported on this computer model" Quelqu'un peut-il me dire quoi faire? Merci pour ceux qui se donnent la peine de répondre! Caro

copy the entire folder off the DVD to some where like Desktop (Windows) or flash memory drive
Now find "BOOTCAMP64.msi" and control + click to see pop up menu and select "TROUBLESHOOT COMPATIBILITY"
It has to do with Apple and Windows support for 64-bit OS using EFI and GPT (such as your Mac).
Some MacBook models were and then were dropped from the list of "supported Macs"

HT5634 Boot Camp support drivers install unsupported MacBook Air 11inch

I successfully installed WIndows 7 64bit from a USB on my 2013 MacBook Air 11inch and it seems to function properly. When I tried to install WIndows support software I keep getting "Boot Camp x64 is unsupported on this compter model" message. The Boot Camp support site states that this install is supported using Boot Camp 5 (which is the version I used). I've found a few workarounds on-line that mention doing something via the disc in the CD/DVD drive, but I didn't go that route so I am unsure how to proceed. Anyone have any guesses on how to make this work?

This sounds weird to me. I just installed 64x on your model macbook air at work today and everything went off with out a hitch. Perhaps you could try to redownload the drivers from boot camp assistant? I have had issues occasionally with boot camp drivers and redownloading usually works out for me.
Best,
Stuart-
