Can't install drivers on Windows XP

I just installed Windows XP SP3 on my Bootcamp, but couldn't find my OSX discs (Leopard) to install the drivers. So I searched on apple.com and came across this http://support.apple.com/kb/DL830

At the bottom of the page was this
Note: This download contains complete copies of Boot Camp Windows XP Drivers (version 2.1). If you have Boot Camp drivers already installed, it will update them. If you do not have any Boot Camp drivers installed, it will install version 2.1 drivers onto your already installed Windows OS.

So I downloaded it, put it into my hard drive booted into Windows, but couldn't install it. Clicking it didn't work at all. I went into task manager, at processes it was running, but not doing anything.

Any idea why it's not working? Or do I have to install version 2.0 of the drivers first?

Thanks.

Yes, and they are not downloadable, you need your original OSX disk

Got me there, I have no idea, that's a question for Apple, I have only installed BC drivers from disk, updates by download.

I just got my dad a macbook pro over father's day and he needs win xp for a certain program that is only supported on windows and most stable on xp. the only xp disks I have are XP SP3, and i've been running into the same exact problem as Ivannzz.

used bootcamp for the partition, and burned the drivers to a disk like ivannzz and still no go.

help us out!

Your problem is not the same. XP is no longer supported on the new Macbook Pros.
