Can't install mac drivers for a windows 7 installation

Hi all,
I am new to Apple and have a brand new 27 inch iMac. I am trying to install Windows 7 on it, and after much much slow progress, I thought I was almost there.
I followed the instructions carefully, and have gotten to the stage where I have a bootable version installed on the iMac, I have - 2 actually - downloaded DVDs with bootcamp and the Mac supported software, but when I follow the instruction that says double click on setup.exe to install the drivers, all I get is an error notice that says "this program cannot be run undos mode". I am further confused by whether I should be attempting to run this program under win 7 or Mac, but since I can't do anything under win 7', the screen does not respond, I am at a loss.
Help much appreciated.
R

Got it!
Just needed to use a standard keyboard and mouse, and not the Apple Bluetooth ones.
Turned on iMac, held alt key down to turn on windows 7, and new keyboard worked, and let me navigate into disk drive via windows, click on install, and here I am watching it doing just that!

You either download drivers from within Boot Camp Assistant and save to USB FAT disk, or you insert and use 10.6.x OS X DVD when in Windows and install and run the SETUP from there.

Step 4: Install the Boot Camp Drivers for Windows
After installing Windows, install Mac-specific drivers and other software for Windows using your Mac OS X installation disc. The Mac OS X disc installs drivers to support Mac components, including AirPort,built-in iSight camera, the Apple Remote, the trackpad on a portable Mac, and thefunction keys on an Apple keyboard.
The Mac OS X disc also installs the Boot Camp control panel for Windows and theApple Boot Camp system tray item.
To install the Boot Camp drivers:
1 Eject the Windows installation disc.
2 Insert the Mac OS X disc. If the installer doesn’t start automatically, browse the disc using Windows Explorerand double-click the setup.exe file in the Boot Camp directory.
3 Follow the onscreen instructions.
If a message appears that says the software you’re installing has not passed Windows Logo testing, click Continue Anyway.
Windows that appear only briefly during the installation don’t require your input.
If nothing appears to be happening, there may be a hidden window that you mustrespond to. Check the taskbar and look behind open windows.
Important: Do not click the Cancel button in any of the installer dialogs.
4 After your computer restarts, follow the instructions in the Found New Hardware Wizard to update your software drivers (Windows XP only).
5 Follow the instructions for any other wizards that appear.
6 Check for updated Boot Camp drivers by using Apple Software Update or going to www.apple.com/support/bootcamp.
If You Have Problems Installing the Device Drivers
If it appears that the Boot Camp drivers weren’t successfully installed, try repairing them.
To repair Boot Camp drivers:
1 Start up your computer in Windows.
2 Insert your Mac OS X installation disc.
3 If the installer doesn’t start automatically, browse the disc using Windows Explorerand double-click the setup.exe file in the Boot Camp directory.
4 Click Repair and follow the onscreen instructions.
If a message appears that says the software you’re installing has not passed Windows Logo testing, click Continue Anyway.
If you need to reinstall specific drivers, you can install one driver at a time. For example,if your built-in iSight camera isn’t working, you can reinstall just the iSight driver.
Individual drivers are in the Drivers folder on the Mac OS X installation disc.

How can I install gutenprint drivers for my Epson Stylus Color 440?

Good day all!
I have and old and useful printer -Epson Stylus Color 440- and just bougth a cable for connecting it to USB port. Add a new print on its Print and Scan Preference Panel and it was recognized inmediatly, but I was told there was not any driver to that printer.
Tried to set "Epson Stylus Color Series" on its driver but when I went to print, printer seemed to work but does not eject any ink. It seemed as if I were ran out of ink; its car moved over the places occupied by the photo and sounded as normal printing, but not a drop of ink. I checked on an older windows pc, and ink is full, printed normally. I also looked for its drivers on Epson pages, but it seems there are only available for previos Mac OSs, not for X.
A son told me that in his Snow Leopard MacBook White there's a dirver called "Epson Stylus Color 440 gutenprint" on his Print and Scan Driver Menu; haven't tried to print from his MacBook yet, and as I searched, those are open drivers.
I wonder if I can download and install that "Epson Stylus Color 440 gutenprint" from the web, of if there's a way to copy it from my son's Macbook, when he comes and check.
Thanks in advance for your help.

Install Mac Drivers for Boot Camp without right Leopard install disk

This is my first post so please excuse my lack of knowledge. I am currently in Dubai for a week of work and was having a problem with my Windows OS. I removed the partition and reinstalled Windows XP with the Windows disk I brought with me. When I went to install the Mac drivers from the Leopard Install disk 10.5.0 that I had also brought with me, I noticed it was the Leopard disk that I bought last year to upgrade my prior MBP from Tiger and not the Leopard 10.5.2 disk that came with my current MBP that I bought last month. I tried it anyway and as it was loading it would always crash in the same place- as it was loading the Broadcom driver. It was the blue display of death. Is there anyway that I can find Mac Drivers for a MBP from a 10.5.2 disk and extract them without actually having the right install disk which is back at my home in Los Angeles? I really need help! Thanks and sorry for the long post.

You could use Disk Utility to "Restore" the installation DVD to a USB Flash Drive. Boot from it to do the work. Your optical drive could be having "issues", or the DVD could be hard to read for some reason. You should be able to hold down the Option key during boot to choose to boot from the flash drive.
If you can't do the work from your Mac because of a hardware problem then you could try a different machine to make the flash drive.
If a different machine can't make the flash drive, then the media is bad.

How can I install JDBC drivers for Oracle?!?....

i have a program that has this line:
import oracle.jdbc.pool.OracleDataSource;
that gives this error when I compile it:
package oracle.jdbc.pool does not exist
So I think I need to install JDBC drivers for Oracle. (?)
I went here: [http://www.oracle.com/technology/software/tech/java/sqlj_jdbc/htdocs/jdbc_111060.html]
and downloaded the files for JDBC Thin.
Then I followed this: [http://www.oracle.com/technology/software/tech/java/sqlj_jdbc/htdocs/111070_readme.html]
by entering these commands (I'm using Ubuntu):
export CLASSPATH=$CLASSPATH:/path/to/files/ojdbc6.jar
export CLASSPATH=$CLASSPATH:/path/to/files/orai18n.jar
export LD_LIBRARY_PATH=$LD_LIBRARY_PATH:/path/to/files
When I type echo $CLASSPATH I can see that those commands worked, but it hasn't made any difference when I try to compile.
I still get the same error. Is it because I didn't do anything about the .so files? The readme page didn't mention them in the installation section.
Please help! I am so stuck...

I don't think you need the shared libraries (.so files) and given what I saw when I glanced at those pages, I don't think they'd even work for you, although maybe I just didn't read enough of it.
What happens when you type
javap oracle.jdbc.pool.OracleDataSourceon the command line?
How are you invoking javac? Are you perhaps passing a classpath argument?
Are you sure that the path to the jar files is correct? Are the paths relative?

I installed bootcamp 4.0 4033, installed window 32 bit but can't install the drivers for some reason i keep getting error message. i have a macbook pro mid 2011 version. Please help

I installed bootcamp 4.0 4033 so that I can install windows 7 32 bit on my mac. Everything works fine until I try to install the drivers and I get an error message stating the version of windows does not work with the drivers I am trying to install. I have a feeling somehow I am downloading 64 bit drivers when I need 32 bit. I spoke to Apple and they said I can't use 32 bit windows.. but that is not what the support site says (it says I can as long as I use bootcamp 4, not 5). Also, my bootcamp assistant is version 5.. I have no idea if that matters. Help please.. been searching online for hours.

What model/year is your Macbook Pro? What operating system version?

I can't install bootcamp drivers on my Windows 7 partition.

As of now I am trying to run 32 Bit Windows 7 on my mid 2011 13 inch Mac Book Air. I downloaded my version of Windows from Onthehub.com and went thru the process of coverting it to an ISO file, putting it on a flash drive, downloading the support software, partitioning my hardrive thru bootcamp and installing the software. After figuring out how to select the hard drive partition I wanted to boot into I created my user account and began going thru the process of trying to install the drivers. The first round of drivers I tried to install were Bootcamp 5.1 drivers which were geared for 64 bit Windows 7, and did not work. After surfing the support forums I then downloaded Bootcamp 4 and tried to install those drivers instead. The bootcamp setup driver currently does not want to load for me. I have tried removing my admin privileges and reinstalling the Bootcamp 4 zip file--seperate events--but have met the same message: This software is not intended for this computer. Based on my research the macbook air I have should be able to run 32 bit Windows 7 and Bootcamp 4. Everything else about running this operating system has gone off without a hitch, but not being able to use my track pad to right click or my volume buttons is pretty inconvenient. Anything obvious that I've missed, I'm a music teacher by trade so its more than likely that I missed something obvious... like asking the computer nicely... thanks folks!

if you are not going to be playing advanced 3d games ditch bootcamp and install your 32bit version of windows in virtualbox or another of the virtualmachines then it will work and if you use timemachine for backup it will include a backup of your windows which it dont do when you use bootcamp

So, I finally turned to microsoft tech support... Case# 1186572463
On Fri. Oct. 26 I was on the phone with a microsoft tech for over 3 hours. The tech that took remote access of my computer said she did not know how to fix my problem and that my case would have to be escalated to a higher level and that I would
receive a call back on Mon. Oct. 29th. However, I never got a return call.
Yesterday - Tues. Oct. 30th I called in again and was on the phone for 4.5 hrs with a microsoft tech and he also took remote access of my computer but was not able to fix the problem. I asked to speak to someone at a higher tech level and was told to call
back into the microsoft helpline.
The 3rd call - Although I had been told during the prior 2 calls that I was still covered under my warrenty I was now told that I needed to pay for the support call. It took a while to get that straighteded out and to give all my information again to
the call center but I finally worked with a 3rd tech for over 2 hrs. but had to terminate the call for a conference call I had with a client. The person I worked with said he would call me back between 7-8pmEST so he could continue helping me but I never
got a return call.
I have already invested over 10 hrs in the last few days regarding this issue and fear that if I call back in I will once again start over completely with no success which is why I am reaching out here. Is there anyone that has the knowledge of how to fix
the problem?

I've been having the same problem and today did some searching and found something that worked. Check that the download hasn't already been installed - look in the Installed Updates listing for an entry. If it exists there, uninstall it, and
then force a Check For Updates and retry the install. This worked for me and I hope it helps.
Good day, Chuck.

I can't install the drivers for my Nom

I have Windows XP. We just got a Nomad, and I installed everything from the CD. As it went through the install, it would pop up a message that says "An error occured while setting up the driver." I've uninstalled and reinstalled the program 3 times, and have tried to download the drivers from this site several times, and every single timeI get that message.
Any ideas?

Surely you can't mean the original Nomad 32MB/64MB player? Or maybe a Nomad Jukebox?
Which model are you having trouble with?

Where are the Mac Drivers for Windows 7 installation?

Where can i find the mac drivers for the windows 7 installation?

If you have a Mac with OS X Lion or Mountain Lion, they are available as a download. You can download them from Boot Camp Assistant (in /Applications/Utilities) or from the Apple site.
If you have a Mac with Leopard or Snow Leopard, they are included in the Mac OS X disc that came with your Mac or in the Snow Leopard DVD. However, as you are going to run Windows 7, you can find more recent drivers in the Apple site as Boot Camp Support Software, depending on the Windows editions your Mac supports > http://support.apple.com/kb/ht5634

How can i install Mac OS on toshiba intel celeron satellite L450-9P

can i install Mac OS on in Windows 7? for dual-boot purpose

But you can install Windows on a Mac via Bootcamp for dual boot.
For the purposes of Windows®, a Mac is just a generic piece of PC hardware, so installing on to it is permitted by Microsoft's EULA. On the other hand, Apple have explicitly stated in the EULA for OS X "Mountain Lion" that it should only be installed and run on Apple-branded hardware. Section 2, Paragraph B, Sub-section 1:
you are granted a limited, non-transferable, non-exclusive license […] to download, install, use and run for personal, non-commercial use, one (1) copy of the Apple Software directly on each Apple-branded computer…
(emphasis mine)
Section 2, Paragraph H:
The grants set forth in this License do not permit you to, and you agree not to, install, use or run the Apple Software on any non-Apple-branded computer, or to enable others to do so.
Also, discussion of how to run OS X on non-Apple branded hardware is against these forums' Use Agreement, Section 2 Paragraph 8, including Sub-section 1:
Keep within the Law
No material may be submitted that is intended to promote or commit an illegal act.
This thread'll be reported by someone if any salient advice is offered that enables the OP in his endeavour.

There's been an update for OSX ML which addresses the issue for installing Windows 8 on bootcamp.
It's NOT recommended that you Upgrade.. However, the way to get the drivers is:
You'll need an external USB drive formatted as FAT for this.
1) In OSX, start the Bootcamp Assistant
2) Press Next
3) UNTICK 'Remove WIndows 7 or Later Version'
4) TICK Download the Latest Windows Support Software from Apple
5) Insert USB drive
6) Press CONTINUE
The drivers should download, and copy a WIndowsSupport folder onto the USB drive.
I did notice that Windows 8 still requires beta drivers for some aspects such as VGA (the Radio HD Card), which you can get on the AMD website.
Futhermore, why are you using Windows 8 "32" bit when you blatently have a powerful 64bit?
Anyway, hope this post helps ;-)

Using bootcamp 5.1, Windows 7 home is installed but missed installing the drivers disk. How to install the Mac drivers for windows after the fact.

While using Bootcamp 5.1, and OS X 10.8.2, I partitioned my Mac disk with 80 Gigs for Windows 7 home and the install went great, but I must have missed the time when I was to install the Mac drivers disk to install the drivers for Windows,(when in Windows I don't have a mouse or optical drive.) Is there a way to install the drivers after Windows is installed, or do I have to go through the whole process all over again?

Press X key after the startup sound to boot into OS X. Then, open Boot Camp Assistant, download Boot Camp drivers and burn them into a USB drive or DVD. Finally, boot in Windows and install drivers
