BootCamp Assistant 4.0.1 and errors while trying to download Windows support software

I am using BootCamp Assistant 4.0.1 and I keep getting errors while trying to download the Windows support software.  I keep getting errors that says the software is not on the server or that there was just an error saving and it stops.  Any help please!!  I am using a MacBook pro with the new Lion OS

I finally got it to work correctly.  I re-formatted the external hard drive and everything worked fine.

    I'm getting a similar but distinct error message in snow leopard: Download could not continue. "The windows support software is not available" and have no original snow leopard instal disc with me.
    Your issue is completely different. You are running Snow Leopard. There is no download for Windows Support software for Snow Leopard, hence the error you see. Snow Leopard Windows Support software is on the Snow Leopard installation disk.
    You need the Snow Leopard installation disk or a replacement for it.

  • Boot Camp Assistant stops at 50 % when trying to download Windows support software. Help! : (

    Hello.
    I am just trying to install Windows on my late 2011 Macbook Pro. I clicked "Finder" -> Utilities -> Boot Camp Assistant and started downloading Windows support software. Problem is that it is stuck at 50 %. Is this a known problem? How do I solve it? Do I just have to be patient? Is there another way around?
    Also, do I need an actual CD to burn or can I use an external hard drive?
    I appreciate any help I can get : ) I don't know much about boot camp.

    Welcome to the Apple Support Communities
    Try downloading the Windows support software from the Support site > http://support.apple.com/kb/DL1638
    Apple only supports now the external drive as the method to install the Windows support software, but if you download it from Apple Support, you can decompress the file downloaded, right-click the folder with the drivers and burn them into a CD/DVD

  • Has anybody had the following error while trying to download iTunes 10.5? There is a problem with Windows Installer package. A program required for this install to complete could not be run.

    Has anybody had the following error while trying to download iTunes 10.5? There is a problem with Windows Installer package. A program required for this install to complete could not be run.

    Go to "control panel" then "add or remove programs".  Highlight "Apple software update"  Choose "change" click "Repair"  This should do the trick.  Then download and install iTunes 10.5 again.

  • Bootcamp Assistant: Downloading Windows support software... STUCK.

    I've been trying for 2 days to get Bootcamp Assistant to run on my iMac 5K, and every time I've tried I get to "Downloading Windows support software..."  and it just stalls.   I even left it over night in hopes maybe it would advance some how, but nothing at all, just stuck at maybe 10%, 
    Anybody else get past this?   I see tons of people having installed Bootcamp already, how the **** did you manage it when you can't get appropriate drivers or software?

    Wireless or wired doesn't matter (have tried both). 
    I've got a 150mbit down connection, which I've routinely run speed tests and other things since setting up the machine.  So I'm going to assume the connection isn't the issue.
    Here's a dump of everything from the Console.  Any of it make sense?

I tried, but it says "Download can not continue. The Windows Support Software is not available. I bought the Imac secend hand and did not get the install dvd's with it What can I do?

    You don't need to download the Windows support software, because in Snow Leopard, they are only available as a download for the Late 2010 MacBook Air.
    Instead, you have to buy Mac OS X Snow Leopard. The Snow Leopard disc contains the Windows drivers for your Mac, so you have to install them after finishing the Windows installation

    I have already installed Window-7 in my Mac (64 bit). When I downloaded window support software I every time saw network error option on my screen. But network working very well and I can brows webpage. Will someone suggest me support for OSx Lion .

    If I remember right there "may" be a problem if you have a proxie settings enabled.
    System Preferences/ Network/ Advanced/ Proxies. Can't remember which one or if it was an issue in 10.7 or 10.6. Just make sure their all unchecked and try again.
    You might try a search in these forums for more information. Different fix's for different issue's.
    Sorry I can't help more.........

  • Bootcamp is taking too long to download windows support software

    i dont know if this is normal but i have been trying to download the windows support software from bootcamp the whole afternoon and it gets stuck in the middle of the bar.

    Same problem - did all updated on my   Macboor Air 11" with Lion OSX
    Boot Camp Assistant 4.0.1 (429)
    'Downloading  Windows support software' is very very slow / hanged? left it for 5 hours and the bar is not moving.
    I install windows without the support software. After installing Windows tried downloading BootCamp 3.3 for Windows, but tells me it is not required - I still need the Windows Drivers for my air..... wish if there were an offline version to download!

  • Instant client and Error while trying to retrieve text for error ORA-01019

    For an older Windows app, I am exploring using Windows 32 bit IC  instead of a full Oracle client installation:
    IC 10.1.0.5 works fine for me but has the problem of not being able to connect if run from a folder containing parens ().  ie.,   C:\Program Files (x86).
    IC 10.2.0.3  gives the error "Cannot load any communication DLLs, network may not be installed".  SQL+ works.
    IC 10.2.0.4 gives the error "Error while trying to retrieve text for error ORA-01019".  SQL+ works.
    Does someone know why these three versions of IC would behave this differently on the same environment?
    I have tried all sorts of things with ORACLE_HOME and TNS_ADMIN with IC 10.2.0.4.
    Do you know which client version is the first to have the fix for the known C:\Program Files (x86) connect problem?
    Or are their patches to IC 10.1.0.5 that I could implement ?
    Any help or enlightenment would be appreciated.

    The web server is not seeing the Oracle environment correctly. You need to set PATH to the instant client libraries. ORA_NLS33 is not used for Oracle 10g clients. Perhaps you have some library conflict with two versions of Oracle on the machine?
