Hayy, I have a question about the Bootcamp Windows 10 Drivers. I run Windows 10 on my Mac (mid 2012) but I don’t have access to Wi-Fi and Bluetooth and more, so I want to install the Bootcamp Drivers. The problem is that I get an error in the Bootcamp Assistant. I saw a few articles about Brigadier, but they were unclear and didn’t work for me. If there’s someone who can help me with Brigadier please let me know!
MacBook Pro 13″, macOS 10.15

It is a script on macOS...

If you downloaded Brigadier on Windows, then it is a .exe file.
Please download the macOS version when booted in macOS.

Are you able to download and install BC drivers?
There’s no error code, it just says that the Windows Support Software couldn’t be downloaded due an error (in the first place it loads to around 45% before it “breaks”). Both on a USB drive or just desktop or downloads doesn’t work.
The current macOS version is 10.15.7 (this mac doesn’t support the Big Sur update)
See Windows 10 Install failure - Apple Community as an example of running Brigadier.
What is the error in Bootcamp Assistant?
Does BC Assistant -> Action -> Download work?
What is the current macOS version on your 2012 MBP?
still don’t understand it. do i have to open the .exe file in Windows or macOS? what do you have to do with that code? how does it work?
But the download isnt a script, it’s a .exe file!
