@ Great Life

Worked great!! Felt like a noob trying to figure out the proper path.

I downloaded Boot Camp Support Software 5.0.5033 for 64Bit (Win 7) and copied it manually to usb drive as explained here http://support.apple.com/kb/dl1638

Only difference for me was "bootcamp64.msi" was not there, instead I tried "BootCamp.msi". It's installing so far and seems to work, maybe they just renamed the installer.

I am getting the "Boot Camp x64 unsuporrted"... message. As the person above stated there was no bootcamp64.msi. I executed the bootcamp.msi file as described from an elvated dos prompt. Everything appears to install even some screen flicker however after the reboot its clear its missing drivers. I have no wifi and in checking the device manager serveral devices are missing drivers.

I have to correct my previous post: It did not work fine.

After having installed the Win64 Drivers manually Windows apparanty rebooted (i did not watch it) and left me an error messagte stating windows could not reboot properly. There was an option to fix or repair. After doing so Windows did boot and seemed to be fine, however I realized that the Internet Explorer alwas crashed due to some dll error. I am not sure how this is related to the Boot Camp Support Software. But that's the point I gave up and bought Parallels 9.

Great Life'srecomendation of running CMD with Administrator Privileges was what worked for me...

Works for me too.

Thanks

Sorry, but at the risk of sounding like a total idiot (and I've been Mac-only for 10 years now), I just can't get the bootcamp exe file to run.

I've installed Windows 8 onto my MacBook Pro, downloaded the Windows Support software, and had to install manually all the drivers that I could, since running the bootcamp exe file gives me the "bootcamp x64 is unsupported..." response.

Trying to run it as an administrator gets me nowhere.

And my Windows still won't detect my home wireless network, which is working for all other devices, including my MBP when it runs in OS 10.9.1.

Any suggestions?

And take pity on me- I'll need (fairly) explicit directions.

Thank you!

Triffer did you try the steps I have listed?

1. In Mac, Burn the files to disc via bootcamp
2. In windows move that file to the desktop in a folder
3. Then launch command prompt as administrator
4. do cd.. until youre at c: (cd.. cd.. cd.. cd.. cd.., etc)
5. cd users
6. cd yourusername
7. cd desktop
8. cd bootcamp_foldername
9. cd boot camp
10. cd drivers
11. cd apple
12. bootcamp64.msi

Hi - Thanks for this.

Well, since I haven't tried basic programming since 1985, I had to find a few youtube videos explaining Command Prompt until I discovered using the "dir" command so I could see what my next cd "..." would be.

So, eventually, I got to cd bootcamp.msi (NOTE the change of file name to bootcamp.msi, not bootcamp64.msi - another small complication).

Then the Bootcamp installer worked, so that's good.

Now I'm on to my next (or really, back to my original) problem - Windows 8/Bootcamp can't detect my wifi network, even after re-installing a new Broadcomm driver. Wifi's fine in OS X, but rebooting doesn't help - see this thread - https://discussions.apple.com/thread/5187393?start=15&tstart=0

Any more suggestions?

Thank you!

It worked for me! Thanks! :)

Hello There

I have installed windows 8 pro on my macbook pro 2011 late, and after that i installed boot camp 5.0.533 everything working fine only the sound has a red cross sign on task bar and it says code 10 error.

i have only windows 8 running no Mac installed.

any suggestions?

Thanks - this appears to work perfectly!

The only additional issue I had is that the bootcamp installation hung for quite a while on "atigraphics". (I have a 2009 24" iMac.) Eventually I had to cancel the installation. Based on another thread, I moved the ati folder out of the drivers folder and reran the bootcamp64.msi and then it ran fine.
