Can't go through installing drivers (Win 8)

Ok I got my MBP 13.3 yesterday. Went through the Boot Camp assiatsnt, followed everything on the guide, installed Windows 8 (not yet 8.1).
Windows 8 ''almost work'' except I do not have all required drivers (for instance, wi-fi is not an option - I can only connect with ethernet cabled connection).
I wanted to go through re-installing Windows 8 because I have a double issue here : I will need to spend time over the phone with Microsoft since thsi is a key I had on another (crashed) laptop. So if things have to be re-done, I don't want to call them twice...
1) When I first installed throigh BootCamp assiatant, I unchecked the ''download Windows drivers'' (second) oprtion. I have the Win 8 DVD , I had downloaded the (wrong version - now I know) of BootCamp drivers (just been told when I tried to install manually under Windows,...)
2) I redownloaded the version of Boot Camp (5.1.5640) nd unpacked, copied to a USB key then once I launched setup, I was told this is not for **this computer** (a Macbook Pro mid-2012 (model A1278). So I went through litterature again and understood I needed BootCamp 5.1.5621 (based on my model). I downloaded it.
3) Followed : http://support.apple.com/kb/DL1720 (I think ''carefully'') - but now when I launche the ''Settup.exe'' I am getting the (extremely frustrating after a day) message : ''The SWinPEDriver5 folder was not found. Please verify the SWinPEDriver folder is in the same location as the BootCamp folder and try the installation again''. (Ok please read twice below: Do you read the **first** folder now appearing **there** ?) - Well I made sure that SWinPEDriver5 was copied in the root of the USB stick. Here are the elements showing there:
- SWinPEDriverS (folder)
- Drivers (folder)
- AutoUnattend (document)
- BootCamp (document)
- Setup (application)
- AppleBluetoothBroadcom64 (folder which I have recopied from the content of the first, as Setup did not seem to see it..... But to no avail)
- IntelHDGraphics64 (folder which I have recopied from the content of the first, as Setup did not seem to see it..... But to no avail)
Only reply I am getting from Apple Care is to...contact Microsoft... But hey: BootCamp is an Apple product, right ? And since I probably first need to activate Windows (thus spend an hour over the phone...) I can't call MS support !!.... Chicken and egg...
Spent my entire day on this...
What is it I might be missing here ?
(Please note that I also intend to update Windows to 8.1 .... so any shortcut here would be very appreciated, if I am going to need an update to these drivers....
Thanks in anticipation guys.
Rob

A few hours later....
Now, i have decided to go back : from Mac OSX I have opened BootCamp and chosed to uninstall Windows 8 and go back to a unique partition, prior to start everything from scratch....
Now guess what: starting from scratch, once I get to the point to choose the 2 options (download latest drivers + install Windows 7 or more), I get a new prompt that ask my password to ''provide a new tool''.... But as I continue (with WIn 8 disk in the mac and empty USB key in the slot, I now get a message that this mac can ''only install Windows 7'' !!!!.....
Based on litterature, Macbook Pro mid-2012 **can** install up to Windows 8.1 - this should not be an issue !...
Have I been shipped a lemon ??

Silly Rabbit,
Sounds like the people who tried to solve your problems did not make a good enough effort to find a solution for you. Just because it doesn't work for you doesn't mean it won't work for someone else. Discouraging people from using Leopard just because you have an unstable system to run it on basically doesn't help. Wireless works just fine on my Leopard system. And amazingly, I did an upgrade and install. By all accounts, I should have a failing wireless system, but I don't.
It isn't a Leopard bug. Rather you have some contributing third party software or hardware, or a system that is too full to handle Leopard. Downgrading to Tiger probably helped simply because the software or hardware you have has only been tested with Tiger. I think if we looked at a thread you started we might be able to find out what issue you have and see if it can be resolved. It would really help to see if some XYZ feature/software/hardware is truly Leopard incompatible, and then and only then say "if you have XYZ" it probably is best to wait for an update to run Leopard with it.
Just say matter of fact that downgrading was necessary only gives fear, uncertainty, and doubt, without any facts to back it up as to why you had to go that way. I don't think waiting a few more updates will help. Rather, finding the contributing factor that caused your failure is more likely to solve your issue.

Don't worry about the IRQ's - you've got XP running in ACPI mode and it is NORMAL for many devices to share one IRQ. See the Microsoft Knowledge base article here:
In theory with programmable interrupts that SHOULD be the case but not always.
I have seen both sides of the debate. Still, there are actually only 15 physical IRQ's to live with and some are dedicated. Having multiple devices on one IRQ is not the problem really, it's how it's managed and who gets what when it's requested is the problem.
The best thing is to try to play by the rules if you can.
A good example is my setup
IRQ 0 System timer OK
IRQ
1 Standard 101/102-Key or Microsoft Natural PS/2 Keyboard OK
IRQ
3 Communications Port (COM2) OK
IRQ 4 Communications Port
(COM1) OK
IRQ 6 Standard floppy disk controller OK
IRQ
8 System CMOS/real time clock OK
IRQ 9 Microsoft
ACPI-Compliant System OK
IRQ 11 NVIDIA nForce PCI System
Management OK
IRQ 13 Numeric data processor OK
IRQ
14 Primary IDE Channel OK
IRQ 15 Secondary IDE
Channel OK
IRQ
19 MSI 8606 Video Capture OK
IRQ 19 MSI 8606 Audio
Capture OK
IRQ 19 NVIDIA GeForce FX 5900 Ultra OK
I am aware of this sharing of 19. It was not a
problem with a previous Leadtek TV Tuner
IRQ 20 Standard Enhanced
PCI to USB Host Controller OK
IRQ 20 NVIDIA(R) nForce(TM) Audio
Codec Interface OK
IRQ 21 Standard OpenHCD USB Host
Controller OK
IRQ 21 NVIDIA nForce MCP Networking
Controller OK
IRQ 22 Standard OpenHCD USB Host
Controller OK
IRQ 22 NVIDIA(R) nForce(TM) MCP Audio Processing Unit
(Dolby(R) Digital) OK
Above you can see plenty of sharing, if I move my TV card to slot three, IRQ 19 is no longer shared, I basically don't see any problems, yet I haven't tried to do any real capture from a device yet so...
Try it without the Sound card....what the heck

Half way through installing drivers er

ok i just got a sb audigy 2 value and i put the card in no.2 pci slot cause no cloficts there. and proceeded to boot computer all good cept there isnt any windows detects new hard were screen anyhow i place the drivers disk in and proceded to install it. it went all good till it sat error! (i hate errors)something to do with the 'CTZAPXX.exe' or something.
i have uninstalled reinstalled clean uninstalled changed pci slops i been round the tree 22 times and it just doesnt install (without an error!). in device manager it says theres some kinda device there but it says its not configured cprrectly. my mother board does have onboard sound but it suxs and i have disable this manuly and every thing but i cant fix it you name it i tryied it. is there any one out there that can name something i can do to ge it work?
i am so close to going back to onboard sound! do you get compistation for how many hours you spend restarting the computer every time you unistall or install!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

zzeone,
How is the soundcard detected on the device manager? And do you have the exact wording of the error message?
I assume this is Windows XP? SP or 2?

Can't do clean install of Win 8.1 missing or corrupted winload.exe

I have an existing installation of Windows 7 Ultimate. It boots cleanly and works without errors. I'm doing a clean install of Windows 8.1 from DVD or flash drive (I've got both, both created from the downloaded ISO) to make it dual boot. I
get the error message "cannot install Windows 8.1, Windows\system32\boot\winload.exe is missing or corrupt." Both install media give the same result.
I don't understand where the winload file is supposed to be. It does not appear on the install media, and it can't have corrupted the DVD, and surely it's not using the Win7 partition, so what should I fix?
I see bunch of similar questions in various fora, but none of the answers seem to apply; to me, this smells like an unresolved issue with the Installer.
I'm dead in the water. Please help.

Hi SHCA,
What is your current situation?
Please share us the whole error message for better support.
Please check if the the ISO file is reliable as S.Sengupta mentioned.
As we have the error message about winload is missing or corrupted, we need to check if it's still exist in C:\Windows\System32\winload.exe.
Best regards,

I can't untick the "install drivers" option in Bootcamp

Hi, I'm having trouble using Bootcamp. I only have a 4GB USB stick to hand which I know will handle the Windows ISO (but not the drivers). Unfortunately, Bootcamp will not let me create a Windows USB Installer without the drivers, the tickbox for the drivers is grey and I cannot untick it.
I can't find anybody else online with this issue? Can anybody help?

A lot cheaper than you think $10

Officejet 7500A installing drivers, missing dll file, can't scan

I have a new laptop with Windows 7 Professional, using first the cd, I installed drivers to use my Officejet 7500a on my wireless network, during installation it said it could not find file HPWia2_OJ7500_E910.dll and asked if I wanted to continue. I did and in the end could not set up the scanner. So per HP website and uninstalled all software and reinstalled, this time from the HP site. Same exact thing occurred. Again, worked through the process and uninstalled and reinstalled drivers again, same problem, "can't find file". Scanner is the one thing that doesn't work. Printer appears to work fine but I really need to scan as well. Thank you in advance for your assistance.

Hello aaatexas,
Welcome to the HP Forums.
I see that you are having an issue with installing the printer.
I'm going to give you a Microsoft link that will show you how to do a clean boot in to the computer. Once the clean boot is finished and the computer is restarted, please attempt to reinstall the software and drivers for the printer.
Here is the link for the instructions on How to perform a clean boot in Windows.
Please feel free to write me back if you have any other questions or concerns.

HT4796 Can Windows 7 be installed on my new MacBook Pro, through my network connection? The disc would be in my Windows desktop.

Can Windows 7 be installed on my new MacBook Pro, through my network connection? The disc would be in my Windows desktop.

I wouldn't recommend installing through a network connection.
For a Virtual Machine:
If you have the Win 7 media (DVD), use an app like PowerISO or MagicISO to make an ISO file of the install disc and use that.
For BootCamp:
Use the original install media and BootCamp Assistant, to install from your DVD Drive.

HT5639 Windows 8 already installed, can I only update Bootcamp drivers or must I reinstall?

If i already installed Windows 8 on the previous Bootcamp version, do I need to reinstall now with Bootcamp 5 to make trackpad, etc work? Or can I simply update the drivers within Windows 8? If I can simply just update the drivers, can someone please explain that process?W

On the evidence here you have the wrong version of the Boot Camp drivers?
Boot Camp 5.0.5033 is for Win 8 64bit, is this what you are using (download it here)
There is a sheet that will tell you which version of Boot Camp does what (here)
Verify and if needed download the version you need.
I will also repeat my earlier advice, If your installation is currently working, don't fix it.

SYSPrep install for Win 7 SP 1 Drivers not installing correclty

I am setting up x230s with Win 7 SP 1 64 bit. Sysprep using dpinst. and setupcomplete.cmd to install drivers that need silent installs. I have installed chipset, AMT chipset for Intel Engine, USB 3, multi carder reader, etc..
All drivers install ok except Card Reader, looking into it I have had to edit config file for install to change hardware ID from 823 to 822. However, card reader does not work when i insert an SD card. Also Any usb drive I plug in is not recognized, I get the error in Device Manager No Driver Found. I have imaged other model, T420, X220, T500, T520. Consistently the Card Reader install is an issue. So I am looking for help in installing drivers with sysprep and unattend.xml, with setupcomplete.cmd. We are rolling out a few hundred for Win 7 64 bit. We cannot use system update to resolve all the drivers. So any help on this topic is appreciated..

It might also be helpful to know what you are using for your deployment utility. I say this because it might be beneficial to check out the Microsoft Deployment Toolkit for your deployment solution since it makes driver injection that much more managed and simplified. A great blog article which outlines the process of managing Out-of-Box drivers with model specific driver groups can be found on TechNet here.
As a high-level overview, MDT allows you to create hardware independent images which will in turn greatly streamline your deployment process. The Springboard Series on TechNet has a great deal of information to help you learn how to create hardware independent images, specifically. For now, I’ll just give you a few key benefits.
First off, MDT is free and can even integrate directly with Windows Deployment Services (WDS) and can be setup to PXE boot for both a Sysprep and Capture task sequence and lite-touch deployment.
Next, MDT can be used to deploy Windows 7, Windows 8, Windows 8.1, Windows Server 2003, Windows Server 2008, Windows Server 2008R2, Windows Server 2012 and Windows Server 2012R2. Using MDT, you can easily add both applications and drivers, manage Windows updates, create task sequences, specify selection profiles for easy driver injection, prompt for a computer name, join a domain, add a KMS or MAK product key, create an administrator account, specify time zone, etc. You can also import all user data into the new environment using the User State Migration Tool (also free). In addition to creating standard client task sequences, as stated above, you can create sysprep and capture task sequences that will do just that – sysprep and capture an image of your reference machine. To become familiar with the process of using MDT, you might want to check out these videos from the Springboard Series page on TechNet:
Deployment Day Session 1: Introduction to MDT 2012
Deployment Day Session 2: MDT 2012 Advanced
As a direct answer to your question, if you are currently using Windows Deployment Services (WDS) to push out your images you will want to check out the adding drivers to WDS Server TechNet wiki article or if you are just trying to sysprep your image and keep all installed drivers you will want to look into the PersistAllDeviceInstalls switch for your
unattend file.
Hope this helps and keep us posted!

I am not computer savvy. I was the one with the deleted dictionary. It does not show up in the trash as an icon. just a lot of files. How can I reinstall it from my back up dics? can I look through and just click on the application I want to re install?

Here I am again.
Can I trust the install dvd to scan my computer to find the missing program?
Can I look through the installation dvds to find the dictionary program and just click to install it?
Would it be easier to install a free dictionary from the internet for macbooks?
This is so frustrating: I don't even know why Apple would allow its program to show up on a nikon download of photos??? I mean really I thought they were the masters of protection?!
I never thought that by deleting it from my camera that it would delete the entire program from my computer. That in itself is something that APPLE TECS SHOULD LOOK AT DON'T YOU THINK

Here is what worked for me:
My usb hub, being usb2, was too fast. I moved the wire to a usb port directory on my pc. That is a usb1 port which is slow enough to run your snyc.

After running bootcamp, DVD drive is detected by Windows 8. But after installing drivers, no longer can detect. Device Manager shows that DVD drive is unplugged! Drivers in Bootcamp “removed” the DVD drive. I think there is an issue because I reinstalled Windows 8. If I don't install driver, then I have reduced functionality (no Apple keyboard, no sound etc), but once I install driver, I lose my DVD drive.

Hi, guys, I have had the exact same problem since the summer of 2010. Here's what I was able to find out.
Deleting upper/lower filters, running all those Fix Ya programs and other Microsoft crap is useless. This problem is most certainly has nothing to do with registry of any software on your computer. I took my HP 9620us to a couple of repair places and, they tried a lot of things and it appears that the root of this problem is a faulty motherboard connection. Of course, it costs about 400 bucks to fix it so I'm not sure I want to pay this kind of money.
Anyway, if somebody was able to fix it PLEASE post here to let us know. Again I am 99 per cent sure it's some piece of hardware in the motherboard.

HT4818 I can't install drivers Nvidia Geforce GT120 Boot camp windows 7

I was using windows vista in Boot Camp, but now I installed windows 7. My problem is I can't install the drivers of the Graphic card Nvidia Geforce GT120 using the CD drivers. However, I tried to download directly from the webpage Nvidia.com/drivers but at the moment to running the installation assistants, it doensn't detec any graphic hardware.
Please help me!
Thank you!

I can solve my problem! I used a programme called 3dchip that helps to the computer to recognize and install drivers!
Thank you mende1 for your time.
Nice to enter in your community!
