Windows 8 Bootcamp Drivers

Hi,


I have downloaded (via MSDN) and installed Windows 8 onyo my 2011 MacBook Air and all is working well, with the exception of two pieces of hardware.


The FaceTime camera and the TrackPad.


Do you know when the drivers will be updated to support Windows 8? (It will be available to everyone in October, so there's not too long to go until more than just the developers/enthusiasts will be installing it on their computers).


Many thanks,


Andy

@pauly61 - Click the download button on this page. http://support.apple.com/kb/DL1638 Top Right section - Download button.


This will download a zip full. After completing the download, extract and use the BootCamp Installer to install the drivers.


Even I had a BootCamp with Windows 8. However Bootcamp was for Windows 7. As soon as Apple upgraded launched the latest BootCamp, I downloaded it and installed. Everything started working normal.

Hope I'm not too off-topic here.


I have Windows 7 on an Intel Mac mini. No Bootcamp. No problems. (Running parallels is another story; the mouse keeps freezing )


I made it a dual install for Windows 8.


No Sound or Wifi on 8, I've DLd the latest Bootcamp drivers, without success


Which drivers am I looking for?


Bootcamp sSetup doesn't run on this Windows machine
