I'm running the Bootcamp Utility and am at the stage where I have ticked all the boxes and am creating an install drive on a USB stick. During this process Bootcamp consistently fails during download of the apple drivers reporting a network error, despite the network being ok. Is anyone else having this issue?
MacBook Pro with Retina display, OS X Mountain Lion (10.8.2)
Look to the right under "More Like This" ------->
The download servers are notoriously slow. Keep trying. Be patient.
I will visit the Apple store this weekend. If they have a 5K on display, I will build a USB and stick it on dropbox.
still nothing and thx for no help apple support.
This is really bad form on Apple's part.
Can you try this link please - https://www.dropbox.com/s/div1yevpn105alt/WindowsSupport.dmg?dl=0 ?
I am having the same problem, did the guy who got the problem fixed it.
I don't know how to do this man, im stuck at this "No internet connection".
I called Apple, and they said download the package, but i cant start the setup because it's .EXE.
PLEASE HELP!
This is a specific version valid for a specific HW model? Can you please provide the exact year/model of your Mac, which would help in locating the correct drivers.

If you downloaded the .zip file from Apple, the Bootcamp folder contains a setup.exe file. This file is used (along with the contents of USB) after a successful Windows installation on the Mac.
still not working and still not update from apple.... I am getting so tired...
If you want to try a manual installation of Windows on your Mac please see - How to get Windows 8.1 on Mid 2010 MBP. This was on a MBP with an Optical drive. You can do this in two steps. Put your ISO on the USB using a tool like Rufus USB, install Windows with BC drivers. Once you have Windows fully installed, you can download BC drivers from Apple servers usingthedirect link and install thedrivers.
God Bless America!
If you got this problem you need to check your /private/etc/hosts and you are probably infected by: http://www.thesafemac.com/iworm-method-of-infection-found/
Are you able to remove spurious apple.com entries and get your download to work?
Yup now installing the windows, had like 15 updates waiting holy moly, Loner T thanks for the amazing trip 🙂! hope everything get now okey !
And apple support.... pls learn what is hosts file, i did ask from the guy and he was like no man you need reset your mac. I was like no way.
I have reported this to Apple several times. Apple's suggestion is to avoid Malware, by using appropriate Gatekeeper settings.
Please see Trouble connecting to apple CDN and manually download microsoft software support .
