Bootcamp: Bluetooth drivers not installing in Windows 7 on MBP 2010 2,66

Header says it all really. Bootcamp setup initially returned no errors, but BT lists in device management as having no driver. Tried manually running the packages from the OS X/Bootcamp DVD too, no luck.

I'm OS X 10.6.3 and Win 7 Home Premium fully updated.

There's a range of other missing drivers as well: co-processor, sm-bus controller etc. And only generic VGA drivers, no nvidia.

Anyone else having experienced this? I really, really need my Magic Mouse 😟

MacBook Pro 13" 2,66, Windows 7

Hi and welcome to Discussions,

sounds to me like you didn't install the Apple BootCamp Drivers from the OSX DVD after the Windows installation.

If really not done yet, insert the OSX DVD while in Windows and the Driver setup usually starts automatically.

Thank you Fortuny, but running the Bootcamp setup was the first thing I did after installing and patching up Win7.

When realising it had failed installing drivers on several devices, I browsed the DVD for the correct packages and ran them one by one. Alas, with not even the slightest hint of success.

Any other ideas? 🙂

Sadly no, since i don't have a MBP nor Windows 7 to tryout.

Might be best to ask again in the BootCamp Forum here http://discussions.apple.com/category.jspa?categoryID=237

Sorry
