Windows won't install any drivers using BootCamp

I'm new to using a Mac (I bought an aluminum 2.0GHz MacBook last month). I need to run Windows on it, and tested in using BootCamp, but I cannot get the Windows XP drivers to work at all. No drivers have been installed for networking, chipset, sound, video, etc.) The device manager shows almost no drivers installed. It is Windows XP SP3 as well. I have also tested this on two other Macs, with the same results. What am I doing wrong?
Thanks in advance for any replies received.

If you have Auto-run enabled (not always a good idea though) it will still open to
/BootCamp folder with Apple Setup.exe to install the drivers and services to add compatibility.
I think Windows Update, esp. now with v. 7 RC1, it finds even 3rd party drivers for me and less trouble, something OS X doesn't provide.
But the step for inserting your DVD.... that is in the Boot Camp Guide and pdf.

  • Lenovo Laptops Won't Install any Drivers

    I have primarily Lenovo T and X series laptops at my work. I'm trying to setup SCCM 2012 to be able to image directly from a Windows 7 source folder (just took an ISO from MSDN and extracted the contents to a folder, pointed SCCM to it). I am hoping not
    to use a Sys-prepped, etc, WIM file of a fully built machine (I was able to get this no-wim setup running on a test network at home).  If I tell the task sequence not to stop on errors during the driver install step, the machines will install Windows
    and otherwise complete the sequence, but have basically no drivers. I've also tried to tell the sequence to install only ethernet drivers, and those won't install. The Apply Drivers step is normally told to pick the best matched drivers, and choose from any
    category. I need some help! I have attached the smsts.log file from the \smstslog\ folder on the X drive that is created. Any help is VERY much appreciated!
    Two logs attached. One is the smsts.log from the smstslog folder on the x drive the other is from the c:_smstasksequence\logs folder

  • Windows 7 won't install any Audigy 2 ZS drivers

    I did a clean install of Windows 7 and noticed right away, that the drivers for my Audigy 2 ZS didn't get installed. Here is the error I was given via device manager / properties for card:
    The drivers for this device are not installed. (Code 28)
    This operation requires an interacti've window station.
    Drivers I've tried:
    From Windows Update, dated October 4, 2008<
    Creative's website, Driver version?2.8.00, dated July 3 2009
    Creative's website, Beta driver version 2.8.00, dated Oct 2009
    Creative's website, Vista driver 2.2.0002, dated March 6, 2007
    danielk's audigy support pack 3.5
    When I tried the Creative executables and danielk's support pack, I do not get any errors during any parts of the install(s).
    Windows Updates says the install failed with unknown reason. When I attempt to "update driver" through device manager, it says it finds the driver but it gives me the same error as mentioned?above: This operation requires an interactive window station.
    What else can I try? I've also done an "upgrade" install of Windows 7 on top of the clean install (out of desperation). At this point, I feel like reloading my XP imaged install,?so I can have working audio again.
    So, please, if there is something I can try, then please help. Is there a way to do a "logged" install and send it to someone at Creative?
    Thanks for your time

    So, just to update everyone on my situation. I think my issue was caused by the migration tool, Windows Easy Transfer.
    I formatted the partition the partition that Windows 7 was installed on, and did a fresh reinstall. Upon first boot of the new reinstall, the audio drivers were still not installed. I then immediately tried to "update drivers" via device manager and Windows installed the latest beta drivers from October , 2009 with no errors.
    Is there any reason why the install won't install the drivers on its own? Did it not ship with Audigy 2 ZS drivers?

  • Trying to install windows on Mac using bootcamp, but windows won't install?

    I've been working tirelessly on installing a burned to disk windows 7 on my MacBook Pro using bootcamp. Everything worked fine, I booted up windows but the problem was that it wouldn't install at all and just told me that the disk may be corrupted or missing? I noticed the disk was scratched so I reburned it to another disk. When I went to restart the Mac to boot up windows and try the installation again, a message came up saying: "NTFS - 3G could not mount /dev/disk0s4 at /volumes/untitled because the following problem occurred: dyld: library not loaded/ usr /local/libfuse.2dylib referenced from: /usr/local/bin/ntfs-3g reason: image not found." Could this be saying something about the disk? Is there an easy way to just install the **** thing?? In really tired with this, thank you do much for any help.

  • How to install XP drivers for Bootcamp on Mac OSX v 10.6.7?

    I installed Windows XP Porfessional SP3 on my Bootcamp partition but when I insert the "Software Support" DVD that my Mac created it says that I have to be running Windows 7 only and does not install any drivers. I have been pulling my hair out trying to find a solution on the web with no luck. One road block after another. This should be simple.... I DO NOT want or have Windows 7. I want and have Windows XP professional and all the documentation states that I should be able to install and run Windows XP using bootcamp on Max OSX 10.6 and later and I am running 10.6.7. I tried downloading BCUpdateEXE.exe and running it on the Windows bootcamp partition but it does nothing. It will not run. I found an article saying you must first install Bootcamp 2.0 drivers and then run this update but I cannot find any copy of the Bootcamp 2.0 drivers on the Web.
    It almost seems like Apple is in colusion with Microsoft to force the latest Microsoft garbage down our throats.... when i baught the Mac I thought I was getting away from this horrible practice... seems not...???

  • AIR seems to install but won't install any AIR apps

    I installed AIR on Windows 7 64-bit Enterprise Edition, and it seems to install OK (no error messages).  But when I go to install an AIR app (Yammer desktop in this case) it will not install the app and I never see the installer come up.  This is a new computer that never had AIR on it.  First I went ot the Yammer site to load the app there, as I did on my XP computer.  The install started, but hung up.  I was at work, so I let it sit for a few hours, but it was still hung.  I then rebooted and tried to install using the offline installer.  It seemed to install, but won't install any AIR apps.  I have uninstalled/reinstalled AIR and Yammer but no change.  I also tried uninistalling using the MS FixIt utility, but no difference.  AIR seems installed but if I go to the Yammer web site, it tries to install AIR again.  Log below.

    Hi Tom,
    Would you be willing to do a desktop sharing session with me so I can take a look at what is happening with your system?  If so, please contact me at [email protected]  If you want to try something immediately, I'd recommend creating a new, temporary, user account and seeing if you can install Yammer there.  If so, log back into your normal account and try launching the installed Yammer app.
    Thanks,

  • Recovery = Windows won't install from recovery discs

    I have a dv6, performed recovery off the purchased 2 discs, and it says Windows won't install.  Also, will not let me log into administrator...says my account has been disabled.  Need help asap, on roomies pc.

    I also tried using a HP Windows Recovery Disk from HP for my HP G71-340US Notebook Computer, but it repeatedly fails the installation with the message:
    "No OS Flag Set on Unit.  Please use EEPROM to set OS SKU value = 2.  Error RStone S Update  SRU option configuration is invalid, Loc # cound not be found in product #.  Next step: Please use EEPROM to set Loc # in either SKU # or CTO localization code". 
    This occurs repeatedly when trying to run the Recovery Disk from HP.
    I believe there is an EEPROM problem, but I do not know what to try next.   I have backed up all my persoal data, but everything is wipped off the hard disk, currently.  I can get into the BIOS, but that does not seem to be of any help. HP tech support is of no help.
    Thanks for any help or recommendations.

  • Qosmio F10-136 - Unable to install any drivers

    I have a Qosmio F10-136.
    I have recently formatted the hard drive. Since I had lost the recovery disc, I had to use another copy of Windows. I downloaded the drivers available online from the Toshiba website but I have been unable to install any drivers except the wireless LAN. Most driver setups refuse to run at all, some seem to install the files, but the driver is not detected.
    Please advise.

    > 1. Sound device not working still - When I install the audio effect driver (i.e. toshiba virtual sound), there does not seem to be any effect even though it is installed. Then, when I install the SoundMax Audio System, it gives me an that the driver does not exist.
    What do you mean exactly by does not seem to be any effect. Can you hear the sound coming from the speakers? Are there any yellow exclamation marks related to the sound card? If not then the sound card driver has been installed properly and the sound should work!
    > 2. I cannot figure how to install the LAN driver.
    Where is the problem? Download the LAN driver, unzip the package, access the device manager, choose the unknown device (LAN card), point to the driver files downloaded from the Toshiba driver page and finish the installation.
    The LAN card should be recognized properly.
    > 3. Same with the TV tuner drivers; there is not setup file.
    As mentioned above; you can install the drivers in device manager. Choose TV tuner in device manager (possibly marked as unknown device too.) point to the TV tuner driver files and finish the installation.
    > 4. During the windows setup, I had created 3 drives, but I cannot access the drives D & E. When I try to access them, windows asks me to format them, but it gives me an error when I try to do so. Also, the hard drive is not shown in the disk management (not even C drive), so I cannot do anything. Although, the hard drive is shown in the device manager.
    If other partitions have been created on the HDD then this should be visible in disk management. I dont believe that you cannot see even the C partition. In my opinion you didnt check this correctly.
    Access the disk management (MY Computer, right click, manage). Choose Disk Management. There you should see the HDD and CD/DVD drive.
    If the partitions have been created but not formatted then you would see just a free space.
    Click right on this space and you could either format this or could delete the partition.
    PS: I recommend using a 3rd party tool like Partitions Magic in order to create the partitions on the HDD (Win XP)!!!

  • 24" iMac won't install any 'large' Apple software updates from the internet

    I am having a serious issue with my iMac and neither the people on the phone at Apple Care or the 'Geniuses' at the Genius Bar have been able to assist. So, maybe someone here can:
    First - here is the background information about what happened and what I've done:
    A few weeks ago when the new iTunes 10 came out I went to upgrade. The upgrade failed it said. So, I thought perhaps Apple was having issues with the new software or something. So, I thought - Ok, I'll give it a day or two.
    I come back and try again from Apple.com - no luck. Hmmmm - well, I just happened to see my 'software update' icon pop up and there was iTunes. I thought "Great! Now I'm sure it'll install!" No luck.
    So, I think - well, perhaps I've done something to corrupt my profile. So, I create a new profile and try again. No dice.
    So now I'm really confused and figure - ok, let me try a partition and I'll try again. Still nothing.
    Finally I figure - ok, something is wrong here. So, since nothing is working I backup my music and important files and wipe out the hard drive and start over. No luck. And, in fact - since I had gone back to 10.5.4 or whatever - software updates needed to install to get me back to 10.5.5. Those wouldn't install through software updates OR when downloaded from Apple.com - Smaller downloads like, flash, java, firefox, etc - all download and install without issue.
    I decided to engage "Apple Care" and they call me at the time I specified and we begin to do some tests on the hardware and everything came back ok. We tried from Apple.com and software updates again - still won't install the software. Keeps coming back with "Software installation failed" something about the package installer was corrupted during downloading.
    The guy at Apple care thinks perhaps its my network corrupting something. This begins to make a little sense and I think, maybe he's right. My wireless router isn't that great so, maybe I'll just go replace it. However, while I'm checking out I begin to think that maybe its NOT my wireless router - because I do have 2 other computers in my house who haven't had issues downloading anything. So, this is unlikely. But, I didn't like the wireless router anyway - so I went ahead with the purchase.
    I get it home - set it up and try again. STILL not working. So, I make an Appointment at the "Genius Bar". I take it in - show them the screen shots of the errors and we get started. They try to do the install of either iTunes or the combo update on THEIR network - still won't work. The genius thinks I have a bad HD and takes the computer for 2 days to look at it.
    I finally get to go pick it up - excited that I'll have my iMac (which I use for work) back and functioning again. I go pick it up and they decided that it wasn't my hard drive - but likely my RAM. They couldn't prove it was the RAM but figured since I bought the RAM after I bought the iMac that this must be the issue (even though it was up to exact Apple standards and was from Crucial). So, I think - well, while I have a blank slate I'll go ahead and install Snow Leopard. So, I pick up Snow Leopard and get new RAM too and go home to install.
    I get the computer home, put the new RAM in, install snow leopard and get ready to work! After snow leopard install is done - it has some new updates it needs to install. And the update FAILS to install again. Oh, and they never replaced the HD.
    So, I call Apple Care again - they have no clue. They suggest making an Apple Genius Bar appointment. So, I take it in again. They run diagnostics on it from their 'Triage' external hard drive and everything checks out. He says its probably the hard drive (same conclusion they came to the first time) and said that they would replace it.
    I get the computer back - take it home. Everything is up to date. All the software updates were back in place including iTunes 10. However, I still want to test and see if I can download iTunes and/or do updates. So, I uninstall iTunes and download it again. Same problem. STILL won't install any large software downloads. But, again - Smaller downloads like, flash, java, firefox, etc - all download and install without issue. Just no core Apple updates or things like iTunes will download and install on my iMac.
    I then took it to a friends house - set it up on his network - same issue.
    So to sum up:
    I have re-imaged the hard drive several times
    I have replaced the ram
    I have replaced my networking hardware (even though other machines on the network have no issues)
    I have taken it in twice to the Genius Bar and they still haven't fixed it
    The Problem followed the machine and exhibited the same issues in store as it did in my home (so we know the problems stays with the machine)
    I have tried it on yet a 3rd network and the issue still exists
    The people at the Genius Bar told me that If I still have issues then its with my network - even though its been proven it wasn't.
    Its only larger downloads like Combo Updates and iTunes that won't install.
    Any ideas? Sorry for the long post but its been quite an ordeal.

    Yes, I have tried the updates directly from the Apple website and a different issue occurs. When I do that I get various different errors - the most common saying 'Codec overrun'. This has happened both before and after complete software OS reinstalls (Completely wiping the HD clean).
    I did a video of my issue on my iPhone. I had to cut it and compress it to get it off my phone without syncing (because I can't sync it since I can't get iTunes installed now). So, its about a minute long if anyone wants to see it:
    http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=8leWwEoIeXI
    And yes, we tried to repair permissions a couple times but didn't seem to have any effect on whether it would install these updates. Again, it's NOT all software downloads/installs. It seems to be limited to LARGER pieces of software. Example: Firefox, Flash, Java and Silverlight have all downloaded and installed without error on my iMac. Apple combo updates and iTunes won't install at all.

  • Has anyone figured a way to use the Magic Trackpad with Windows 7 on a partitioned disc using Bootcamp?

    Has anyone figured a way to use the magic trackpad with Windows 7 on a partitioned disc using Bootcamp?

    Yes. After Windows/Bootcamp discovers  your bluetooth device (Magic Trackpad or Mouse, be sure to make it discoverable), right click, with your wired mouse, of course, on the icon and select Properties.
    Then check the mouse drivers box and your device should work. (I located this solution on another thread)
    It works for both the Magic Mouse and Magic Trackpad.
    Must admit, the solution was not intuitive within the Windows environment. But we all must remember. It IS Windows, after all.
    Another thing. Keep in mind that the gestures on these devices that work just dandy in OSX do not carry over into Windows.
    It's Windows.

    Hi,
    You may change your title, Since this is C# forum.
     >>i want to know how can i install any software
    usingc# code
    So what kind of your software?
    In C#,we can install and uninstall "*.msi" files (setup).
    The code to install software without user interface is:
    private void installSoftware()
    Process p = new Process();
    p.StartInfo.FileName = "msiexec.exe";
    p.StartInfo.Arguments = "/i \"C:\\Application.msi\"/qn";
    p.Start();
