Boot Camp 2.1 will not install.

I attempted to install this update on my Mac Book Pro, and it was a no-go.
I tried software update (4 times), downloaded the installer through software udpate and ran it(2 times), and then ran the stand-alone installer (4 times).
Each time the install failed.
I set-up Windows Installer logging, so if anyone at Apple wants to see the log, I'd be happy to send it your way.
Thanks,

I am having the same thing. I am still on Bootcamp 1.4, as upgrade to 2.0 was also not sucessful. It failed on updating drivers for Touchpad and remote. This time I was trying to:
1. Go directly from 1.4 to 2.1 - nothing happen after doubleclick on installer
2. Upgraded from 1.4 to 2.0 (with errors for Touchpad and remote) and then to 2.1
And then "The installer encountered errors before boot camp could be configured" has showed up...
Did any of You had same problem with 2.0 as I had ?
And did any of You find a workaroud it ?

HT5634 boot camp 3.1 will not install

I have upgraded my operating system to Windows 7 Ultimate from Windows Vista Ultimate. When I use apple update on the windows operating system, it shows that there is an update for boot camp. I have bootcamp 3.0 and the update is 3.1. However, after downloading 3.1 and restarting the computer, the 3.1 update does not install. Why is this happening and what do I do to correct it? Thanks

I figured that because Boot Camp is only compatible for XP and Vista, yet I was able to install Windows 7 just fine, that the boot camp update would follow suit. My thought is that 7 is using a very similar build to Vista in that the difference is so slight in the build that Boot Camp thinks that it is Vista. I have heard success stories of Windows 7 in Boot Camp 2.1

Boot Camp 2.1 will not install in Windows 7 beta 1

I have installed the 32-bit Windows 7 beta 1 on my MacBook using Boot Camp 2.0. I cannot for the life of me get the 2.1 update installed. After downloading in Windows, I run the setup and it asks me if it's okay to allow that file to make changes to my system. I agree but it stops there. Nothing happens. I made sure that I downloaded the 32-bit version for Vista and still nothing. Do I need to create a disc?

Windows XP Home installs correctly, but Boot Camp control panel will not

I put XP Home onto my 13" MPB and everything works except the Boot Camp control panel and the multitouch and special keys. When I put in the disc it loads and starts to install, as it finishes up and installs the control panel, it shuts down and doesn't install. When it restarts everything except control panel are there. Am I doing something wrong? I have reinstalled twice now with no avail.
XP Home SP2
NTFS

Check your XP Task Manager to see if the processes are running or not. I found that I had issues with my Boot Camp Control Panel if I let it auto-launch. It would hang and not start properly most of the time (but it would sometimes). I removed the process from the auto-start list and put an icon on my desktop to manually start it, and it works right every time now. As for the special keys, etc many of those only work right once the control panel app running.

MacBook Pro 17" Will Not Install Boot Camp

Has anyone else found that Boot Camp will NOT install on a 17" MacBook Pro? We were able to partition the drive and install Windows but when we tried to install the Mac Drivers we kept getting the error message "this software will not install on your hardware". This is very frustrating as we bought the 17" specifically to run both Mac OSX and PC Windows. Has anyone got any ideas?

You may need to wait until Apple updates the drivers or you could try extracting them from the package then installing them that way

Boot Camp V-2.1 will not install

Boot Camp installation of upgrade to Version 2.1 will not install. Can anyone help me?

Hi,
Probably this reply is in the wrong post, but I just registered to this forum. I had the same problem with upgrading Boot camp to 2.1. The MAC OSX I am running is in Dutch and my Windows XP version is English. I started all over again installing Windows from scratch on the Boot camp partition. But now I did not make any changes during setup when it comes to keyboard and language support. After installation I ran the Boot camp 2.0 software from the MAC OSX CD (now it suddenly appeared in English instead of Dutch the first time), rebooted the machine and then successfully installed the Boot camp 2.1 update!
As read on Internet here and there, the problem seems to occur when there is some kind of regional setting problem or other language incompatibility.
Hopefully it helps a little (although I was not happy doing it all over again).
Peter

It is difficult to understand your issue from your discription. I have three suggestions.
1. Visit the Boot Camp forum. You posted in the Mac Book Pro forum about your Boot Camp issue. The Boot Camp gurus hang out in the Boot Camp form. https://discussions.apple.com/community/windows_software/boot_camp
2. Read the Boot Camp installation guide. http://manuals.info.apple.com/en_US/boot_camp_install-setup_10.7.pdf
3. Do not post personal information such as phone numbers in public forums.

I'm getting "Installer disk not found" message during boot camp 5 and windows 8 install on late 2011 MBP upgraded to Mavericks.

hello,
And thank you in advance.
I'm getting "Installer disk not found" message during boot camp 5 and windows 8 install on late 20011 MBP upgraded to OS X 10.9 Mavericks. Any ideas?
I've downloaded the Window support option software and the WindowSetupBox.exe and copied it to the USB drive. I tried to create an iso image from my Windows XP machine but recieved messages that Windows 8.1 could not run on XP. I've ordered the Windows 8.1 backup media.
Any way to proceed?
Thanks Tim

download the win 8 iso from here;

then start over. install on to your usb along with the support software.

You might have better luck in the Boot Camp community. I'll ask the hosts to relocate your post.

I am trying to use and education program that needs Java applets and it will not run on Safari. IE will not install from the web. How do I get a browser that will work to install so I can use this program when I travel.

Try using FireFox. IE will only run on a Mac if you run Windows on the Mac.
Windows on Intel Macs
There are presently several alternatives for running Windows on Intel Macs.
Install the Apple Boot Camp software. Purchase Windows 7 or Windows 8. Follow instructions in the Boot Camp documentation on installation of Boot Camp, creating Driver CD, and installing Windows. Boot Camp enables you to boot the computer into OS X or Windows.
Parallels Desktop for Mac and Windows XP, Vista Business, Vista Ultimate, or Windows 7. Parallels is software virtualization that enables running Windows concurrently with OS X.
VM Fusion and Windows XP, Vista Business, Vista Ultimate, or Windows 7. VM Fusion is software virtualization that enables running Windows concurrently with OS X.
CrossOver which enables running many Windows applications without having to install Windows. The Windows applications can run concurrently with OS X.
VirtualBox is a new Open Source freeware virtual machine such as VM Fusion and Parallels that was developed by Solaris. It is not as fully developed for the Mac as Parallels and VM Fusion.
Note that Parallels and VM Fusion can also run other operating systems such as Linux, Unix, OS/2, Solaris, etc. There are performance differences between dual-boot systems and virtualization. The latter tend to be a little slower (not much) and do not provide the video performance of the dual-boot system. See MacTech.com's Virtualization Benchmarking for comparisons of Boot Camp, Parallels, and VM Fusion. A more recent comparison of Parallels, VM Fusion, and Virtual Box is found at Virtualization Benchmarks- Parallels 10 vs. Fusion 7 vs. VirtualBox. Boot Camp is only available with Leopard and later. Except for Crossover and a couple of similar alternatives like DarWine you must have a valid installer disc for Windows.
You must also have an internal optical drive for installing Windows. Windows cannot be installed from an external optical drive.

Macbook Pro SMC update 1.3 will not install

Greetings,
I am having problems getting the latest SMC update to install on my 15" Macbook pro. My built in drive has a boot camp partition, so I understand if the update won't install using that. But When booting off freshly GUID partitioned and HFS+(journaled) formatted Firewire 400 drive (Leopard installed and updated to 10.5.7) SMC 1.3 update will not install and gives same error "Your firmware can not be updated because the hard drive partition scheme may not be supported. You must be booted from a GUID partition or RAID scheme." Huh?
I tried the update pushed down by software update, and a manual download.
Current SMC version showing in system profiler as 1.16f10
Anyone else experience this or have any suggestions?

"...hit the hardware start button, get gong, machine starts to boot, something briefly flashes on the screen"
Hi Bob, you have to hold down the start button(5-10secs) until you hear a long tone. Then let go and everything is ok.
You'll also see the progress bar install the update, that is what the brief flash was but because the button wasn't held for a few seconds, it didn't take.

Boot Camp 4 - Installer disc not recognised

Hi All,
I am trying to create a Windows 7 partition on my Macbook Pro (late 2009) running OSX Lion 10.7.2 with Boot Camp 4.
Clicking on "Install" button to create the partition and install Windows with the disc in the drive gives an "The windows installer disc could not be found" error. The disc is a downloaded Windows 7 installer disc image, unpacked so it looks exactly like a standard Windows install disc with all files (i.e not a single ISO or image file).
Could the content of the disc be an issue, as to why the Mac cannot read the disc? I have read in another support thread that the solution to this is to burn an Windows 7 ISO as an image (DMG?), so would keeping an ISO file on the disc work?

miguel.loff,
Your instructions were so helpful! I was struggling with this for a few days. I tried multiple times to burn the .iso file onto the DVD and this was the only method that worked. Bootcamp Assistant replied with "installer disc could not be found" for all other attempts. If you are downloading Windows 7 from the internet (from your school or something), then DEFINITELY USE THIS METHOD BECAUSE IT WORKS.
Heres exactly what I did to get Windows 7 running on my Mac:
A. Download Windows 7 file; if file is an ".img" change it to an ".iso"
B. Follow burning method from "miguel.loff" YOU MUST USE A DVD not a CD
1) Insert blank CD
2) Open Disk Utility (Applications>Disk Utility)
3) From the File menu, choose Open Disk Image and select the .iso that you want to burn
4) In the list of volumes (at the left of the window), you will now see an item representing the .iso file. Select it.
5) Click on the burn button and you're done.
C. Open Bootcamp Installer on your mac and follow instructions. Download Windows 7 support software to an external hard drive. THE EXTERNAL HARD DRIVE MUST BE FORMATTED TO MS-DOS(FAT) (idk what that means but its easy to do.) In order to preserve the mac portion of your external HD, create a Windows partition for you your external hard drive [MS-DOS(FAT) ] in the same disc utility used to burn the DVD
D. Insert Windows 7 Disc; Partiton your computer's HD, and then Windows installion will begin

XPsp2 disc will not install-ejects

Boot camp partition process works fine. When install disk is inserted, optical drive starts up, screen flickers to black, then music and grey screen, then disk ejects hanging machine in grey screen. Manual shut down and restart comes up w black screen and message "no bootable disk". Another manual restart w option key to select MAC HD as boot drive and then reselect in System Pref and everything is fine. Happens every time with two different install discs.
XP disk is "Student Media/Work at Home Media" purchased thru the University. Other is "Systems Student Media".
Two calls to support, no help. One guy said "we don't work with that call XP".
Genius bar verified disks were correct and that optical drive and hard drive were functioning "perfectly". Tech said either its' the disk or the operating software and it was not the disk. Said I should reinstall Leopard (Not an upgrade-machine came with it. After consultation said to reinstall just BootCamp. They would not look at the console messages and said they weren't trained in that.
Looked at reinstalling BOOT Camp, but it does not seem to appear as a stand alone on the Leopard Install and did not come up in Applications install, just mail, safari etc.
Console messages show boot camp, then log in window starting security agent, then authorization host invoking mechanism, then security agent invoking mechanism then "security agent[80]: Mechanism Destroy".
I have to believe that this is the problem and am looking at repairing permissions, but from these forums am scratching my head a little about that. Would like to have a better idea of what to do. The IT guys here are few and far between and the medical group cannot support mac anyway. Love the machine, a little disappointed in Apple's responses so far and wonder if any of you might have some advice for an old windows guy who would really like to be converted. Just need it for the business connection with exchange. I promise I will not run it for anything else. Other idea is to go buy Parallels or a commercial XPsp2, but those are shots in the dark at this point. Does sound like a security issue, but don't know for sure what to do.
Thanks for your patience.

The seller may have given you the wrong discs if you have Tiger restore discs. The model number of MacBook you mention (MB062LL/B) came with Leopard and not Tiger. See here: http://support.apple.com/kb/SP12
You need to reinstall by using the Leopard install discs that originally shipped with this Mac. 10.5.0 on your Family Pack DVD is older than what came preinstalled on the MacBook. No Mac computer can run an older OS than what originally shipped with it. Apple has a tech note about this here: http://support.apple.com/kb/HT2186

How to install 3.1 Drivers when 3.0 will not install

I am trying to install the Boot Camp driver on Windows 7 Home Premium 64 bit.
The 3.0 Drivers on the Snow Leopard DVD will not install, which makes perfect
sense because Windows 7 64 bit was not supported at the 3.0 revision level.
But I cannot run the 3.1 update, because 3.0 was never installed.
Is there a way to just directly install the 3.1 drivers without 3.0 being
installed first? Or to force 3.0 to install even though the drivers installed
won't actually work?

No answer here either, but I want to chime in. My MBP i7 came with BootCamp 3.0.5 already installed, but the 3.1 drivers for Windows 7 won't execute properly because they claim that they need BootCamp 3.x.

Boot Camp 2.1 will not install.
