Q: boot camp installation hangs at realtek audio stepSearch or ask a question

I am trying to install boot camp for win 7 home prem 64 bits on Mac Pro laptop. The boot camp installer is hanging at the Realtek audio step. I tried other versions of boot camp, version 4.0.4326 and it complained that it did not support this system. I tried version 5.0.5033 and it complained that it did not support 64 bit. Any suggestions?

MacBook Pro with Retina display, OS X Mavericks (10.9.1)

    I'm having the same issue with Windows 10. Anyone found a fix for this? I tried going into the Bootcamp installer folder and install Realtek drivers manually which succeeded, but when I launch the Bootcamp installer again, it still gets stuck when installing Realtek drivers.

    Ok so I was having this issue with Windows 10 build 10565 ISO. I found an older ISO from August (looks like RTM build 10240) and Bootcamp setup works fine on this version.

    I found a solution, when the installation hangs at realtek audio:

    1. DO NOT turn it off

    2. go to your bootcamp folder, manually install the realtek driver, DO NOT restart

    3. after manully setup, open Task Manage, and kill the "RealtekSetup" process

    4. bootcamp will skip the Realte, and have fun

    I am so thankful I found this. I am having the same issue on a new 13" 2015 MBP retina. Bootcamp installs Windows 10 fine but the setup hangs at the Realtek step. I tried installing manually without luck and couldn't get the trackpad to word so I could right click on anything. After 20 minutes on the phone with Apple Support I was told it was a Windows issue with the drivers they supplied and they can't help me. They suggested that I contact Microsoft. I did and they couldn't help since it was an Apple product.

     

    I wanted to clarify that in the above solution, click control+option+delete to get to task manager.  It will show "Setup" as the running process. Do not end this task. Instead click on "More Details" at the bottom and scroll down to find "Realtek Setup". The instructions by lincizy were exactly correct, but you have to expand the "More Details" to find it. I am now running Windows 10 and have a working trackpad.

     

    Thank you so much lincizy!

    Thank you so much for your assistance! I too was in the "that's not our problem" loop between Microsoft and Apple. This fix works perfectly!

    Greetings; I'm grateful to jmwils1 for posting additional detail as I was able to resolve the realtek driver issue by combining replies from lincizy and jmwils1!  Thank you both very much for taking the time to do document your findings!  I hope to pay this forward someday to someone else in need!

    Many many thanks, I was having the same issue and pulling my hair out trying to get the boot camp driver package to work. It nearly got to the point where I just thought, just get rid of it and not to bother. Tried installing all sorts of versions of Boot Camp divers nothing worked. So thanks again your a life saver.

    Hi everybody,

     

    Had same issue with audio driver getting stuck during install. Now all is installed and properly working, only audio is still not working. There are drivers installed, but they seem not to work. Is there a possibility to install the drivers afterwards?

     

    Thanks for your help!
