Bootcamp 3.2 -> 3.3

I finally got around to installing Bootcamp on my iMac 2011. Everything went well with the installation of Windows 7 Ultimate 64bit and I installed the initial bootcamp driver from the iMac installation DVD.

Now I want to update bootcamp from 3.2 to 3.3 but it isn't possible. It seems to install correctly and the reboot is going fine, but bootcamp is still 3.2 when you check the about.

I have tried to manual download the 3.3 update, but it bugs and says that I'm trying to install from a network location that isn't available.

I don't just wanna reinstall Windows if I end up with the same problem. Just for info I just need Windows to run Windows games. Thanks in advance for the help.

Any ideas?

iMac, Mac OS X (10.7.2)

that tells me that there is/was something amiss now - with Windows and with your BC 3.x

Plus for any 2011 Mac models I would strongly recommend Boot Camp 4.01+ which of course is part of Lion.

And your sig shows Lion. That you aren't running SL.

I dont seem to able to find a bootcamp 4.0 download on the apple site. If I use the files that where made during the bootcamp installation I get this bug:
