I had this issue as well and lIke others have mentioned the problem was the logmein display drivers. Uninstalling the program was not enough. After that you must go into the device manager to uninstall the logmein display driver manually. After doing this the install worked perfect.

Hi,

download the stand-alone package of 3.1 from here http://www.apple.com/downloads/macosx/apple/windows/ and see if it helps.

I get this error when I try to update Boot Camp:

I am running Windows 7 Ultimate 64-bit on a 24" iMac (Early 2008).

I had to use Mac Pro drivers to install previous version of Boot Camp. I downloaded them through torrent. Very cool, so Apple will still not support 64-bit on some models even though they work. Awesome.

Ditto... this seems to be a rushed release. Hopefully they fix it soon!

Same issue here. ASU worked fine on MacBook but not on my iMac, both running fully patched Win XP SP3 32bit. Tried the manual download and install but received the same error message.

Do you already have Windows 7 installed? I'm trying to install Boot Camp 3.1 on top of a Windows 7 installation that already has Boot Camp 3.0. Thanks

Anyone have any luck installing 3.1 over existing Win 7 + BC 3.0 installation?

Nope. It refused to install; heck, it wouldn't even launch the installer. 😟

The multiple display adapter was my issue. As soon as I uinstalled the LogMe-In display adapter, the update ran fine.

the installer keeps crashing on me as well.

I can confirm that extra display drivers cause the 3.1 install to crash @ startup. I had a couple of Live Mesh drivers, unisntalling these allows the 3.1 install on my Mac Pro

Uninstalling LogMeIn did the trick for me! nVidia complained about the wrong version of the uninstaller (32-bit) but it seemed to continue along fine.
