Windows drivers for the trackpad of a macbook 2012

Where can i get the Windows drivers for the trackpad of a macbook air 2012?


The drivers downloaded the current boot camp version are suited for a macbook 2015 and later and don't function correctly with a macbook air 2012: no gestures and no right click.

Windows, Windows 6

Be careful with these drivers. You should not use setup.exe, since these are BC 4.x drivers. You will need to install the individual driver by hand. Use Brigadier (https://github.com/timsutton/brigadier) and the following command line in Terminal, in the same directory where you download Brigadier. '-o' indicates the output directory to write the driver package to.


Macmini-i18:brigadier-master $ ./brigadier -m MacBookAir5,2  -o  MacBookAir5.2

Gestures are not supported on a 2012 MBP. However, Bootcamp Updates (How to use Apple Software Update for Windows - Apple Support) may provide such support (https://www.redmondpie.com/boot-camp-6.1.15-update-adds-precision-gestures-support-for-macbooks-running-windows/).


If you used Bootcamp Assistant -> Action -> Download, then you do have the correct drivers. Check Bootcamp.XML in the package and post the Product Version. Based on Identify your MacBook Air model - Apple Support, your MBA is MacBookAir5,2/5,1.


The Product version I can download is an old version.

Is this what you get?


This is the driver. Notice the dates....

Thank you.

That is NOT what I get with a fresh download of Boot Camp from Mojave.


I get:

BuildInfo BuildNumber="6136" ProductName="Boot Camp">

<MsiInfo>

<ProductManufacturer>Apple Inc.</ProductManufacturer>

<ProductVersion>6.0.6136</ProductVersion>

<ProductCode>{FCFFE6B6-BAE8-490E-88D0-097A9DA1C43D}</ProductCode>


How could I get your AppleMultiTouchTrackPadInstaller64.exe in the version from Jun14 2012?


I can live without gestures, but not without the right-click.
