Having issues updating Bootcamp drivers from 11.1 to 11.7

having issues updating Bootcamp drivers from 11.1 to 11.7
No matter what driver I have tried thus far
it does not install or update the drivers
Battlefield 3 nags you about having 11.1 and needing to update.
However this game proceeds to load using these drivers (11.1 )
I recently bought NFS THE RUN.
Unlike BF3 the game does not proceed therefore inorder to play this game i would need 11.7 or higher.
can someone please provide the driver that actualy installs and works.
My specs are MBP 15 inch
1 gig GPU ( AMD Radeon 6750m)
8 gigs on Ram
2.2 CPU i7

Take a look around my bookmarks
you are updating AMD, not Boot Camp drivers.
you need to uninstall first.
probably need to update via Device Manager not via Install from AMD

Cannot Update BootCamp Drivers

I'm running windows 7 on my MacBook Pro 2010 with Mac OS X 10.6. First I would like to know if theres anyway to check what version BootCamp drivers I have on my computer. I'm trying to update to the newest version (3.2), but when I run the exe file, it tells me "The BootCamp 3.2 Update requires Boot Camp 3.1 or greater. Please install Boot Camp 3.0 before proceeding with the install of the 3.2 Update"
After that I downloaded the 3.1 Update, It tells me I need the 3.0 Update, which I can't find on the Apple website.
How can I update my Windows Drivers? Thx

The first set of drivers comes from the OSX DVD or Stick while you are IN Windows. After that it is very important to update Windows (with a Firewall and Antivirus) through Windows Updates (Internet Explorer > Tools > Windows Update -OR- Start > Control Panel > Windows Updates). If your Windows Updates are up-to-date, click Start, then Programs, then Apple Software Updates.

Cannot update BootCamp Drivers 2.0 to 2.1

My computer is a 24 inch White iMac (Late 2006 model), Intel based.
My current system is OS X 10.5.8
Basically, I recently used BootCamp 2.0 to partition my drive and install Windows XP Professional, 32 bit (x86).
I read that the latest Windows Service Pack my installation can contain is SP2, so I proceeded, and with many help from people in this forum, I eventually succeeded, managed to install the BootCamp Drivers and everything, practically everything except this and one game (which I suspect cannot run on SP2) works perfectly.
However, I want to upgrade to SP3, and to do so, I need to install the BootCamp Drivers 2.1, which are available from this link:
http://support.apple.com/kb/DL830
So I download the file, BCUpdateXP(.exe), but cannot run it, both on Windows and on disc when I burn the file to one.
Double clicking it does nothing.
So seeing it could be opened using Winrar, I did so, and saw two files: BCLocUpdateEnable.exe, which does nothing when I double click it, and BCUpdateXP.msp, which runs when double clicked, but quickly displays the message:
The upgrade patch cannot be installed by the windows installer service because the program to be upgraded maybe missing or the upgrade patch may update a different version of the program. verify that the program to be upgraded exist on your computer and that you have the correct upgrade patch.
The only option is to click OK.
Trying to install SP3 without this update just brings up a message saying I am 4 megabytes short to install it, even though I have 16.2GB free, and I have found that the message is caused because I do not have this 2.1 update.
My current Windows system is: Version 5.1 (Build 2600.xpspsp2gdr.100216-1441 : Service Pack 2).
The issue is posted by a lot of people, but none of them have solutions. And as far as I know, I should meet all the requirements to run this update; using SP2, BootCamp Drivers 2.0 installed.
It would be great if someone can guide me through this, I am sure it will help a lot of people with the same problem.
Many Thanks,
From Lelouch

Update on what I have tried:
I have tried changing the settings on location, language, keyboard etc as a post suggested. - No use
Tried double clicking the actual downloaded .exe file. - Nothing happens
I have tried extracting and clicking on the .msp file. - Get error message: The upgrade patch cannot be installed by the windows installer service because the program to be upgraded maybe missing or the upgrade patch may update a different version of the program. Verify that the program to be upgraded exist on your computer and that you have the correct upgrade patch.
I have tried doing what this post said:
http://support.apple.com/kb/ht1845
The command I have tried entering in the cmd.exe are:
msiexec /update C:\Documents and Settings\Lelouch\Desktop\BCUpdateXP\BCUpdateXP.msp
msiexec /update C:\Documents and Settings\Lelouch\Desktop\BCUpdateXP.exe\BCUpdateXP.msp
and both just bring up the Windows Installer window, and the button available to click on is OK, no Next as suggested by the help page.
Windows Installer only shows:
Windows ® Installer. V 4.5.6001.22159
msiexec /Option <Required Parameter> [Optional Parameter]
*Followed by a list of options.*
And the OK button.
I am tempted to try this:
1. Click Start, click Run, type regedit, and then click OK.
2. Locate and then click the following registry subkey: HKEYLOCALMACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Setup
3. On the Edit menu, point to New, and click String Value.
4. In the text box under the Name column, type BootDir and press ENTER.
5. Right-click the name BootDir, and then click Modify.
6. In the Edit String Value dialog box, type the drive letter for your system drive, and then click OK. For example, if your system drive is C:, type C:\.
7. Close Registry Editor.
to have Windows SP3 installed, but not sure if it is safe as it does say to have BootCamp 2.1 installed first, but BootCamp 2.1 just won't install of all the things I have tried.
Anyone know if it's safe to do this?
Thanks if anyone can help me solve this.
Many Thanks,

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.

How to install w7 bootcamp drivers without nvidia drivers

My early 2011 macbook pro 15" has an AMD graphics card, and after a fresh install of windows 7 64, the bootcamp installation CD contained nvidia drivers. This of course was a problem, but i left it for an hour anyways without any success. Now, im trying to find a way to install everything else besides the nvidia graphics drivers. Silly me threw out the bootcamp CD that came with my macbook pro originally, which I think was able to install bootcamp fine the first time. So maybe there are older bootcamp drivers available for an early 2011 mbp?
Thanks for the help.

Your signature states "Mac OS X 10.7.2" which is OSX Lion.
If correct you can use the BootCamp Assistant in OSx to download the "Windows Support Software" which is the BootCamp Drivers.
Read the Boot Camp - Installation & Setup Guide (OS X Lion) on how-to do it.

How can i update bootcamp to 3.1 before installing windows 7 if 3.1 is required to install windows 7?

Seems like a catch 22---bootcamp 3.1 is required to install windows 7 but you can't update bootcamp 3.0 to 3.1 unless you're on the windows side. What gives here??

Lousy and incompetent tech writers are to blame.
3.1 drivers are req'd
Apple pushed their 3.0 drivers out before Windows 7 was nailed in place.
The Lion 4.01 drivers avoid the multiple out of date steps.
Snow Leopard 10.6.0 came out in Aug 2009 and the drivers were buggy.
In fact I don't think SL was ready either but that is another topic and issue.
Wish there was a way, but Boot Camp 3.3 is what I use or there is a link to 4.01 set - Windows has nothing to do with Lion, you don't need Lion other than to download drivers standalone driver took 4 minutes for 600MB, people say it takes HOURS or days to get a set of drivers. 600MB is smaller than the recent iOS 5 update, or the whole iTunes + Lion 10.7.2 along with other updates, but they can't get it to "work?"
Windows driver package
Download to Windows, you will be current, no more updates needed and works on any Mac running Windows 7

Updating bootcamp drivers

My macbook has vista installed using the bootcamp beta, and I've just tried to update the drivers with the Leopard DVD, unfortunately it doesn't seems to work.
It pops up a dialog stating "The feature you are trying to use is on a network resource that is unavailable. Click OK to try again, or enter an alternate path to a folder containing the installation package 'BootCamp.msi' in the box below."
The "box below" contains "E:\Mac Drivers\Drivers\Apple\", but I don't have an E drive. If I browse to BootCamp.msi on the disk it's in "D:\Drivers\Apple\", but using this just causes the dialog to continue coming up.
Has anyone else had this problem?
Cheers
Iain

I have, but I'm running Windows XP. Same issues exactly. Did you find a solution?

Thanks a lot!

OSX Maverick... Updated Bootcamp Drivers?

Will there be upgraded Bootcamp Drivers for Windows 7 when we upgrade to Maverick?
Thanks,

I have spent a whole lot of hours trying to install Windows 7 Pro in my MacBook Pro. Feeling like am butting my head on the wall. Can you help please? Here is what I posted last night:
"Okay... 1) did all the instructed "homework" to prepare the MacBook Pro. Backed everything up on an external 500 gB drive via Time Machine after making certain the OS X MAVERICKS was completely updated and no more software updates.
2) Re-formated/erased my 16 gB flash drive (on the Mac) to be certain it would have the right FAT formatting. Had tried to do it on the desktop PC and the Boot Camp assistant would not accept it. Accepted after the Mac formating.
3) Downloaded the MS Windows Support software to the Flash Drive as directed from within the BootCamp Assistant
Selected the partitioning choices:
OS X: 629 gB and 552 gB free
WINDOWS: 120 gB (recommended by a knowledgeable friend
4) partitioning failed so.....
5) re-installed OS X MAVERICKS again using the Restart>>>Command R held down & selected the "re-install OS X"
6) tried BootCamp Assistant again then tried to partition
        failed again
7) Re-started again by clicking the Apple re-start then held down the Command R again to select:
        Disk Repair and it was okay
8) Verified disk permissions
9) Repaired disk permissions
10) Ran Boot Camp Assistant again but still keep getting this error message
          " Your disk could not be partitioned" "an error occurred while partitioning the disk"

Updated bootcamp drivers - lost 10 GB space?

Hi all,
Running a 2011 MBP, and I went through the agony of installing W7 on my extra internal HDD without the superdrive (shout out to apple, thanks a lot). Those familiar know the frustration. Anyway, I updated my bootcamp drivers (5.1.+), and noticed an approximate 10 GB decrease in drive space. Is there a way to clean up old drivers? I've checked everywhere I know, and I can't find any old residual files to remove nor does any sort of windows cleanup help (or shadow copies of system restores either). Or is the 5.1 update that bulky? Thanks in advance!

Is there a chance the hard drive has another partition that may have
been set up by using BootCamp or some other utility? If you choose
to look into the Mac HD and see the named partitions already on it,
(some will appear as additional separate hard drives) a few will be
curious but essential with OS X Recovery, among other, set apart and
in their own named hard drive partition.
http://www.apple.com/support/bootcamp/
http://www.apple.com/support/osx/
There are some utilities that could help find out what is using the 10GB
missing from the hard disk drive. A few are in the OS X itself, others are
out there which may or may not be worth their trouble; esp if acquired
from questionable sources, due to threat of adware or malware content.
I'd wonder if you didn't have a second bootcamp partition, or other space
occupied by other software, given the Windows and VMware use in it.
If you have a suitable complete backup on external sources, you could try
a fully new installation, and then for OS X content migrate from backup.
That may be a bit extreme. Before you try to be rid of unknown partitions
be sure they are not part of the main OS X installation, as that could be
helpful to have later on should you need to reinstall original OS X or use
the recovery section specific to that computer. If not already erased.
Is the issue with space in the main HDD or in the external where you put W7?
Good luck & happy computing!

How do I install bootcamp drivers windows 8 (mainly trackpad)

I installed windows 8 conumer preview using bootcamp. I download the drivers to my flash drive, but when i try to install them it says I need a computer running windows 7. I tried running in compatibility mode the way many people say to for installing on windows 8 but that did not work. I also tried to install all the drivers i needed indevidually and that worked, but there is one problem. I can only left click on the trackpad and I connot two finger scroll.
If anybody could help me either get the drivers to fully install or simply get right click and scrolling to work it would be awsome!
If it makes a difference i am running snow lepered on my mac partition om my macbook pro 15 inch 8,2 from mid 2011 (the first quad core one).

When you are on Lion, yes and if you have any 2011 model, definitely. mid-2011 was about where Lion was about to come out. And the old drivers just do not do a good job on those systems.
I'd even buy Lion and just put it on an external drive. If you want then use Setup Assistant to make it currrent with your settings, and clone it back to where SL was (might want to clone SL if you need it though and don't need or can't use Lion for some reason).
Someone else was unable to see Troubleshoot via control-click and I took a screen shot to show that "64.mi" does normally have options for how to run from Properties while theirs lacked that. Which seems to me like an issue with Windows installed on their system and not elsewhere.
You did a clean install of 8-CP too?

HT1338 how do I update the drivers on my Macbook Air to enable me to use my broadband dongle?

I have repeatedly tried to install my BB dongle to my MB Air with no success. One of my mates thinks it may be a driver issue and I should download the drivers for the dongle from the apple site. Anyone have any ideas?

Whatever drivers you require for your broadband dongle will not originate from Apple. Check its manufacturer's website.
