Bootcamp 2.1 update error

It worked for me too. Only problem was at first regedit couldn't find "Boot Camp Services" because it was named "Boot Camp-services"
(windwos vista 32-bit)

And on mine it was +Services Boot Camp+ (windows XP). The above solution worked for me, but only for one of the two MacBook Pro I work with...

I get the installer to open on my second Mac Book, but it's telling me that there was an error and it has to close.

Here is the error I get in Event Viewer:

I still have this problem and I've tried both. My boot camp version is danish and my system Windows XP. This stinks!

This worked for me as well, but it took me forever to find the value in the registry. The reason was that the string "Boot Camp Services" seems to be localized depending on what language version you're using. In my Swedish Windows Vista the value it was called "Boot Camp-tjänster".

I also have this problem again? Even though on my previous install the regedit to 409 fixed the problem?
Is this a returning bug?

(Windows XP SP2 - Macbook Pro 2.4Ghz Penryn - 4 gigs ram)

You do this by looking up the registry key HKEYCLASSESROOT\Installera\Products \82654E0F812156845A61E8A84572A2CD and then changing the value of the REG_DWORD setting named “Language”. To be able to install Apple BootCamp update this setting must be 0×00000409 (1033).

Many thanks jihessa, that worked for me!

Hi,

I had the same problem and your registry key suggestion got me on the right track, thanks a lot!
My product ID is different, but with a registry search I was able to find Boot Camp settings. The only thing I had to change was the Language value below from 41d (Swedish) to 409 (US).
I'm running English 64bit Windows 2008 Server, but I guess Vista 64bit would have the same problem. Looks like Boot Camp installation is picking up my Swedish locale and populating the registry with it, which prevents Boot Camp Update 2.1 from installing both from "Apple Software Update" or manually by downloading it first.
I can also see that I'm presented with a Swedish "Apple Software Update" dialog box when searching for updates, even though I run an English OS, which gave me a clue where the problem was.

Before the registry change and the update from Boot Camp 2.0 the interesting part of the registry looked like this!
[HKEY CLASSESROOT\Installer\Products\1972E1D59AAA4FE4B9DA97EEB1F70D04]
"ProductName"="Boot Camp-tjänster"
"PackageCode"="EF4B6532CFCB9154F939342F08110CF2"
"Language"=dword:0000041d
"Version"=dword:02000003

And after the registry change and the Boot Camp 2.1 update the registry looks like this!
[HKEY CLASSESROOT\Installer\Products\1972E1D59AAA4FE4B9DA97EEB1F70D04]
"ProductName"="Boot Camp Services"
"PackageCode"="EF4B6532CFCB9154F939342F08110CF2"
"Language"=dword:00000409
"Version"=dword:02010000
