Re: unable to download boot camp 4 windows software in response to xavierzhaoNo not yet. I've been reading further in some other posts and saw that someone said that there are only Boot Camp 4.0 windows software updates for the Mac Book Air and that the rest of us have no upgrade at the present time. I'm not sure if that's true or not. Can anyone confirm that?

Re: unable to download boot camp 4 windows software in response to xavierzhaoIf you have the Snow Leopard OS install disc, the boot camp 3.0 drivers stored on that disc are supposed to suffice for now, as far as I've read. Once you install those, make sure you go back to the apple.com/downloads website to download the 3.1 and the 3.2 update.

Re: unable to download boot camp 4 windows software in response to radiokid311If I do that, whether need to re-install Windows 7 via Boot Camp from Mac OS X Lion?

Re: unable to download boot camp 4 windows software in response to xavierzhaoyou are only installing or updating a driver. that's all.
and 4.0 seems iffy or busted right now.
So I would avoid the Boot Camp 4.0. It 'should' have added better support to detect a Lion hard drive boot partitions but that doesn't even work.
If there was a new Windows 7 support then a simple update from Boot Camp 3.2 to 3.3 would suffice. Otherwise you have a $29 tax. I'm waiting for 10.7.1 and 4.01+.

Re: unable to download boot camp 4 windows software in response to The hatterUpgrading to Lion form Snow Leopard didn't affect my original Boot Camp install at all. The Boot Camp windows software i had installed on there a while back (version 3.2) is still there and works fine. I just wanted the 4.0 update if there was one available.
I'm not sure what everyone's been talking about. My Mac Book Pro (2006-2007) model has been running Lion just fine. The only snag I've seen thus far is the downloading of the Boot Camp 4.0 windows software from the boot camp assistant. If the update is not available right now by design, that's fine - I just wish the response from the boot camp would have stated that.

That's what I thought but perseverence worked
Get a Snow Leopard retail disk, it contains the 3.0 frivers, then software update will get you to 3.2 (via 3.1)
