I can't install, repair, or remove BootCamp drivers from my Windows installation

I have Windows XP SP3 installed on my Macbook Pro. When I installed Windows originally it failed to completely install BootCamp drivers, so I don't have advanced trackpad and keyboard features. I've downloaded the latest BootCamp drivers v3.2 that still run XP, but I always get a message saying that "the installer has encountered an unexpected error installin this package. This may indicate a problem with this package. The error code is 2753." I don't have anything in C:/Program Files/Bootcamp (It doesn't exist), and the Bootcamp icon in Control Panel doesn't work.
I can't install, remove, or repair the drivers, not even using the software that came with my Mac OS X install DVD. On the Mac side, I'm running Snow Leopard. I've searched Google for help and couldn't find anything. Does anyone have any ideas? I've already gone through the registry and removed a bunch of Apple-related stuff, but it didn't help.
Thanks! Shayne

At last I got it all to work. I had to go into the registry and delete all references to Apple software and drivers. Some of the entries were locked, and I had to change permissions to allow me to delete them, which was probably the reason the installer kept failing. I finally got Boot Camp 3.0 installed off the Snow Leopard DVD and then upgraded to 3.2. I had a hickup with the trackpad drivers which didn't work, but I found a fix online -- the drivers labeled "TouchPad" were banged out, and I had to switch them to Generic USB Human Interface and then back to Apple TrackPad drivers, which fixed the problem. Now everything is working beautifully with multi-gesture touch pad and keyboard extensions. Yay!!!!!

  • Can't install Quick Time 7 - Error 1721 problems with windows installer

    I had QT 6 PRO and an old version of itunes working fine. I tried to upgrade to Itunes 6. The install failed at the last step of installing QuickTime 7.04.
    The error message was "Error 1721.There is a problem with this Windows Installer package. A program required for this install to complete could not be run. Contact your support personnel or package vendor." So, no QT, therefore no Itunes.
    I did the following:
    cleared my temp directory.
    made sure I had the latest windows installer (3.1 v2)
    removed all traces of itunes and quick time, using Remove Programs, the windows cleanup Utility and manually deleting all files as listed in info article 93976.
    I downloaded the standalone QuckTime 7.04 installer, tired to install and I still get the same error.
    I now have no quick time 6 or 7 and no itunes, and I have no idea what is wrong with the installer.
    I do have access to the install log, and am delighted to reprint it if it will help.
    thanks for any help people can provide.

    The DVD may be working, but the ISO created from it may not be created correctly.
    Please see How to install Windows using Boot Camp - Apple Support and specifically see Boot Camp: Creating an ISO image from a Windows installation DVD - Apple Support which allows an ISO to be created from the DVD used by Bootcamp Assistant on your Mac.

  • Can't Install Win 7 with BOOTCAMP

    Hi, I am trying to install win 7 ultimate on my 10.8.2 iMac using Bootcamp 5.0. I keep getting an error message saying the installer disc could not be found. I am using original windows installation disc. Never had this problem before with earlier versions of Mac OS and Bootcamp with the same windows installation disc.
    Any ideas?

    Assuming your model is MacBook Pro (13-inch, Early 2011) - Technical Specifications or MacBook Pro (13-inch, Mid 2010) - Technical Specifications, go to Boot Camp: System requirements for Microsoft Windows operating systems - Apple Support and download the appropriate drivers for the OS you want to install. It should also have the nVidia MCP drivers.

  • Unable to access the internet on windows xp using bootcamp. I installed the bootcamp drivers ( from snow leopard) but it still doesn't work. I have parallels 6 also installed and IT works fine. I am missing a rtl network adapter-thanksr

    Hi
    I have a new 21 inch imac oct 2011 version. I installed bootcamp and windows xp on my machine and i also installed parallels 6.
    Paralleles works great and i can open any program with it. But bootcamp also works EXCEPT it refuses to give me access to the internet. I installed the bootcamp drivers from my snow leopard disk, it did not make a difference. All the drivers installed but still no internet. I then installed the bootcamp drivers from the gray mac osx disk (#1) but it stopped installing with an error number ( 2753) and it said that the package was damaged.
    I have tried everything; i opened each disk and trieed installing the files separately. Nothing.
    What i see missing in my devices screen in XP is the network adapter.
    I have a router (dlink-dr615) and it is connected by ethernet to my imac. I wonder if THIS might have anything to do with the problem. Any guidance would be much appreciated.
    Thank you

    I'd recommend reposting in the Boot Camp forum, that is where the Boot Camp and Windows gurus hang out.
    Good luck.

  • How can I install my Adobe Photoshop on my computer with Windows XP Service Pack 3?

    How can I install my Adobe Photoshop on my computer with Windows XP Service Pack 3?  Seriously frustrated.  I put the disc in the drive and nothing happens.  I open up add/remove programs and I get an error message stating it can't find a disc.  I chatted with Adobe support, and they decided to send me here. Probably because they knew I wanted to spend all day online trying to figure this out. 

    Download from Adobe's website, install then enter your serial number.

    (1) Download the Windows Installer CleanUp utility installer file (msicuu2.exe) from the following Major Geeks page (use one of the links under the "DOWNLOAD LOCATIONS" thingy on the Major Geeks page):
    http://majorgeeks.com/download.php?det=4459
    (2) Doubleclick the msicuu2.exe file and follow the prompts to install the Windows Installer CleanUp utility. (If you're on a Windows Vista or Windows 7 system and you get a Code 800A0046 error message when doubleclicking the msicuu2.exe file, try instead right-clicking on the msicuu2.exe file and selecting "Run as administrator".)
    (3) In your Start menu click All Programs and then click Windows Install Clean Up. The Windows Installer CleanUp utility window appears, listing software that is currently installed on your computer.
    (4) In the list of programs that appears in CleanUp, select any iTunes entries and click "Remove", as per the following screenshot:
    (5) Quit out of CleanUp, restart the PC and try another iTunes install. Does it go through properly this time?

  • Can I install os9 on an external drive from mavericks

    Can I install OS9 on an external drive from Mavericks? I'm running Mavericks 10.9.4 on both my MBP and 27" iMac. I have my original OS9 install disc. I'd like to install OS9 on an external drive so I can use some classic apps that I'd like to use.
    I tried to install directly to an external drive, but when I click on the Mac OS Install icon, I get the message "You can't open the application "%@" because it may be damaged or incomplete." The icon for Mac OS Install is the generic page with an A. Figuring that Mavericks doesn't recognize the app. Then I restarted and held down the C key - no luck.

    I understand, but was hoping I boot off an external drive in 9. Thanks for your response and I apologize for my late response.

  • Can't install latest version of itunes. "Errors occurred during installation. Your system has not been modified." Help?

    Can't install latest version of itunes. "Errors occurred during installation. Your system has not been modified." Help?

    I had this, and after a large number of fruitless attempts, I had to reload Windows, which solved it. This was of course a real pain, but I had to do it since updating iTunes was necessary in order to get the new iOS version. But before doing such a drastic thing, you could try to restore Windows to a previous point in time by picking a restore point. This of course presumes that you really have some issues with your Windows (which I had) and that you can make a decent guess on when the system was ok (which I couldn't), i.e that you can decide a good date to restore to.

    Generally speaking, as long as you are in the same processor family (4u, 4m, 4c, 4v etc) you can do so.
    The caveat is that the OS has to support the particular model you are on. No worries with S10 though.
