Boot Camp 2.1 Update: Error, would not install
I tried to update my Boot Camp to 2.1.
The reasoning being, that my dimmer button, my volume button, etc does not work on my Windows Vista Ultimate Side.
Other short cut keys worked (i tried): ie: Print screen via 'fn'altF11, etc
However, when I installed it, the following message appeared.
"the installer encountered errors before Boot Camp could be configured.
To retry these operations at a later time, please run th installer again.
Click Finish to exit the installer."
How can I install the Boot Camp 2.1 updater?
Please advise.
Many thanks.
First, backup. Files and system with Ultimate's build-in programs or 3rd party.
run chkdsk for starters. you may want to dabble even more with msconfig and look at your logs, see if there are errors, what startup items and services are running.
I could not install BC 2.1 64-bit even though I have 64-bi9t OS and hardware, maybe because older Mac Pro has 32-bit EFI.
I'd look at uninstalling and reinstalling BC 2.0 and leave well enough alone and focus on just the small issues for now.
Oh, and WinClone is another method and free for backing up NTFS partitions from within OS X worth looking into.
I have not read of the error you got, off hand, that I recall reading.
I really think we need a BC 2.2 at this point in time.

i was installing windows 8 on mac by boot camp and after i put the windows code and choose the partition i formatted the boot camp sector it said windows can not install on this sector because it is gpt
Reinstalling Mavericks depends on several factors:
if you erased your recovery partition
what OS originally came on your Mac.
I'll assume you don't have a backup available that you made before your mishap, because you didn't mention it.
That's really the take home message here: have a backup!
If you still have your recovery partition:
boot into the recovery partition (command R at restart)
use the recovery partition to reinstall Mavericks. see: OS X: About OS X Recovery
if you do not still have your recovery partition, then it depends on whether your Mac originally came with installer disks or not.
If it originally came with installer disks, you would boot from the installer disks, erase your HD, and then reinstall the OS that is on the installer disks, and then upgrade as necessary until you get to Mavericks.
If your mac did not originally come with installer disks, but you managed to erase your recovery partition, then you can try to boot into internet recovery (option-command-R at restart), and use internet recovery to erase your HD and reinstall the OS that originally came with your computer, and then upgrade to Mavericks if you need to. See: Hands on with Mountain Lion's OS X Recovery and Internet Recovery | Macworld
(the reference refers to ML but it applies just as well to Mavericks). -
Boot Camp Windows 8.1 Installation Did Not Install Network Card
I just installed a Windows 8.1 Boot Camp partition on a new Mid 2013 MBA. The install ran the support software and installed the drivers. However I don't show any network cards in my Windows 8.1 installation. I reran the support sw manually and it went through and supposedly fixed any driver errors but I still don't see a network card or have a network connection. It works just fine in my OSX partition, so it is definately a driver issue. *** do I need to do to get the network driver installed?
In Thehatters defence, this was initially posted in the MacbookPro forum and then moved to Boot Camp,
If you have any joy solving your trackpad device driver issue, feel free to post here (there might be a similar fix for my wireless adapter device)

Boot Camp Beta 1.4 - Windows XP not installiing
I successfully installed Boot Camp on my MacBook. However, when I try and install the Wondows XP Home Edition with Service Pack 2, I get a generic error message basically saying the install needed to be stopped to protect my computer. I have enough room on my new partition to add windows. Can anyone help? I don't know why this is happening. I thought it might be because I have the wrong version of Windows but I do have the XP Home Edition. I believe it is the required 32 bit version but couldn't locate the info in the info provided with the software.
Thanks for any help you can provide.

Boot Camp partition created but W7 did not install?
On a late 2009 MB running Lion 10.7.2 with 2.26 Intel Core Duo I used Boot Camp to partition the drive and tried to install Windows 7 Enterprise w/SP1 (x64 and x86). The computer restarted in Lion and I can see the Boot Camp partition but I do not think W7 installed. When I restart and hold the option key there are only the MB and Restore drives available. Can I install W7 Enterprise? If so, any suggestions on how to proceed?
I found this:
These Macs can use 64-bit editions of Windows Vista and Windows 7 Home Premium, Windows 7 Professional, or Windows 7 Ultimate:
MacBook (13-inch, Late 2009) and later
But I have never seen W7 Enterprise listed on either a compatible or incompatible list.
Thanks in advance,
KyleThanks Hatter,
Actually figured it out and got it installed last night. Using Explorer now. What I ended up doing was inserting the W7 disk while in Mac. Then restarted the computer. At the chime I held the option key until MAC and Restore and W7 disk appeared. I selected W7 and Enter. It installed on the partition as intended.
I'm not sure why the Windows Installer didn't do this automatically? And, everytime the INSTALL rebooted the machine I had to hold the Option key to drive it to restart in Windows but that was it. And, when asked, I selected BootCamp partition, Format, and installed the x64 (not x86).
When the Windows Install completed I made a few tweaks in preferences then inserted the driver disk I burned during the Boot Camp partitioning process. There was an executable on it that I OKed and all my drivers were installed. Video, mouse, wifi...everything works like a champ.
I partitioned out 50GB because I wasn't sure. That's at least 10 and maybe 20GB more than needed. I don't intend to store much on this partition, just need it for access to some work sites and to try to teach myself C# (we'll see how that goes, the last programming I did was in Turbo Paschal).
I still haven't been asked for product keys. I assume that is coming after some period of time.
Thanks for the reply.

Problems with Boot Camp 2.1 update & Heat Generation with new MBP
After spending a lot of time debating whether to go with a high-end mac or high end PC, I eventually went with a top spec MBP (17” 2.93 ghz). This was a difficult decision to make, not to mention expensive.
I figured - the Mac was the winner although lower spec then a similar priced PC it had a major advantage – to run Windows XP (which I use for some creative and recreational purposes).
I am now very frustrated and angry – the peace of mind, stability and straightforward Mac ideals that I admire have been non existent so far. It has been extremely stressful!
Problem 1 – when setting up boot camp I wanted to go with the NTFS option, so I partioned 50 gig of space. But after choosing this, the only confirmation option that was displayed was for FAT so I was left wondering if that was correct? (I was very slow and methodically following instructions).
*Problem 2* – After boot camp was set up, there was not Ethernet driver in the Boot Camp / OS Install Disk so I couldn’t connect to the net. It is just lucky one of my neighbours has an unsecured wireless network that I ‘hopped’ onto, to download the driver.
*Problem 3* – HEAT!!! when running an old spec video game (Unreal Anthology) the MBP became incredibly HOT. So much so that I had to stop after a few minutes because it was clear that damage was being caused. I have since read on other discussions that this is a problem many other MBP users running boot camp are experiencing.
*Problem 4* – I downloaded the Boot Camp 2.1 update hoping this would help, but all it did was cut all the sound and disable the keyboard apple keys. I had to uninstall boot camp then reinstall the older version to get the sound back (no ethernet connection again!)
I am extremely upset – I feel I have been miss sold. I brought the Mac with Apples reassurances (and their sales patter of ‘oh yeah, your windows programs will work better on a mac’) only to find this is NOT THE CASE.
I hope I have been doing something wrong, because then I can sleep better knowing I have just spent a lot of money on the right tool I need for my job. At the moment I have a nasty feeling of painful regret and stress – everything I hoped to avoided when buying a mac.
If any apple support people or other users can help I would really appreciate any feedback you may have. Thanks in advance…Hi I too just bought a MacBook Pro 2 weeks ago. I settled on a Mac as I had so much problems running Mac OS on my Dell laptop.
I had OS 10.5 running on my work Dell Latitude D520, it was not a hack but a genuine retail version of Leopard. But I had issues with the keyboard / track pad not working, so I had to use external keyboard / mouse. Not fun on a laptop.
I’m now running OS 10.5.6 and XP 64 bit on my MacBook Pro. I chose XP 64 bit so I can take advantage of the 64bit CPU and the 4 Gig of RAM in my MacBook Pro.
It took me 2 days to get all the drivers to work properly well I say all, the bluetooth does not work but I don’t use bluetooth so don’t really care.
I chose XP 64 bit over Vista 64 bit as Visa is the worst OS Microsoft have come up with to date.
*If any Apple guys is looking at this please let me know if Apple will ever produce XP 64 drivers, I think I’m not the only one interested in the drivers.*
Nick9000 with regard to your problems.
Problem 1
The Mac will only format FAT32 as it cannot write NTFS only read it. You need to choose NTFS when you are installing from the Windows CD, you can still convert your FAT32 system to NTFS within Windows.
Problem 2
I had the same problem but then I was using a non-supported OS.
Problem 3
My laptop runs a bit hot at times but to me all laptops run hot maybe more so Mac laptops. You are running the 2.93 GHz so I guess it does run hotter than my 2.66 GHz. -
Boot Camp 3.1 update silently fails
Ever since the Boot Camp 3.1 update was released, I've been trying to install it Every time, it silently fails, whether I'm using Software Update, or downloading and installing the package manually from Apple.com. I'm running Boot Camp 3.0 and it's fine, but it puzzles me why I can't get it updated to 3.1.
Has anyone run into this issue?I was having this problem as well - the installer would pause then crash ("aka The Program Needs to Close") every time I tried. In the general category of "Suspect anything not from Apple", I unplugged everything FireWire/USB and uninstalled the driver for my DisplayLink external graphics adapter.
The bootcamp 3.1 update then installed just fine. (And the DisplayLink driver reinstalled just fine.)
I expect that Apple hasn't tested their installer with a wide range of third-party drivers and hardware. Get rid of any hardware or drivers you can that are not bog-standard Apple or Microsoft and see what happens. -
Boot camp 3.1 update keeps returning in apple software update
On my 12" MacBook, I have installed the Boot Camp 3.1 update. When I open the Apple boot camp control panel and click About, it says 3.1. However, every time I open Apple software update, the 274MB Boot Camp 3.1 update is always there, even if I reinstall it again and again. What could be causing this?
Ok, so I installed drivers from the system restore disks that came with my laptop, and the error message changed, still doesn't work, but progress is good, right?
Now it says:
"The installed product does not match the installation source(s). Until a matching source is provided or the installed product and source are synchronized, this action can not be performed.
Contact your administrator or product vendor for assistance. If there is a matching installation source, type it below or click Browse to locate it"
Now, what on earth does that mean? In the test box, the default path is "C:\ProgramData\Apple\Installer Cache\Boot Camp 3.0.0\", which doesn't exist on my computer. When I click "browse" it lets me look for a .msi file, which I cannot find and do not know where to look for.
If I click OK, another error pops up saying:
"The file 'D:\Boot Camo\Drivers\Apple\BootCamp.msi' is not a valid installtion package for the product Boot Camp Services. Try to find the installtion package 'BootCamp.msi' in a folder from which you can install Boot Camp Services"
Please, please, please, if anyone has any suggestions on how to fix this, Iwould be very obliged. Thanks again in advance! -

Win7 can't install boot camp 3.1 update.. says it's needs 3.0 first
i just (successfully) installed WIn 7 on my mac pro..
i formatted the partition with boot camp assistant 3.0.1 on the Mac and then proceeded with the guided instructions and got WIn 7 installed.
i've read that this Boot Camp 3.1 updater is highly recommended for Win 7, but when i try to run the .exe file in windows it says it can't run without Boot Camp 3..
i thought i had boot camp 3.. (3.0.1)... but that was on the mac.. do i need it in windows?
if so, where do you find an installer for boot camp 3... google only turns up a few torrent sites..
thanks!http://www.apple.com/support/bootcamp
You missed the part where you are in Windows and insert OS X SL DVD and run Apple SETUP to install the device drivers and services.
I think it is foolish to install yr old drivers first, no other motherboard would require you to, but that is req'd to use the (also old and somewhat out of date) Boot Camp 3.1.
New Macs actually do have newer driver versions (but is still kept to 3.0.x something).
You will still need REalTek audio drivers. YOu need Apple's for HAL, Time, and a startup OS selector, and to support sleep and other power settings. -
Problem running BCUpdate.exe (boot camp 2.1 update)
Just bought a new iMac 20", upgraded from OSX 10.5.4 to 10.5.6 (plus all other s/w upgrades), ran Boot Camp, made a 50GB Windows NTFS partition, installed Win/XP SP3 from the Windows DVD. Booted into WIndows. So far so good.
Under vanilla Windows, I stuck in the Leopard Install DVD and autoran the Boot Camp drivers install. It crashed half-way through with the blue screen of death (flashed up for only 1 sec), and then the machine automatically rebooted. Now it will no longer boot normally into Windows, it gets halfway and then repeats the crash & reboot scenario over & over.
So, I reinstalled all of Windows (again!), but instead of using the Leopard Install DVD, I tried to run the Boot Camp 2.1 Update package, BCUpdate.exe. However, when I double click on the package in Windows, nothing happens. I right-click -> Open, and it doesn't run. Run as... Administrator, it doesn't run. Safe Mode won't let me run it either. The checksum of the file is correct. I don't get it.
What am I doing wrong???Hmm, for that to work, I would need hardwired Internet access. All I have is wireless, but Windows doesn't see the Broadcom card, so I can't go the online Apple S/W update route.
So, I'm still stuck. Maybe there's some way I can make an autorun CD or something out of the BCUpdate.exe file...?
