hi,
as mentioned, win8pro & boot camp 4.0 support software is on my macbook air. it is upgraded from win7 home.
i have downloaded the "BootCamp5.0.5033" and follow the instructions provided.
after unzipped and accessed to the folder named BootCamp then double-click on "setup", a pop-up with messages as attached pic shown.
kindly further assist.
thanks.
MacBook Air (13-INCH, MID 2011), Windows 8
I recommend you to uninstall the Boot Camp drivers first from Control Panel, and then, try to install the Boot Camp 5 drivers. Apple recommends to install the Boot Camp 5 drivers before upgrading to Windows 8, so you will get everything working just after upgrading, and you won't have problems
thanks and appreciate your prompt advise
i did notice the recommendation however i have installed win8pro quite sometime ago (before the availability of the 5.0 version)...
by the way, do you mean uninstall "boot camp services" (11mb) from the Control Panel\Programs\Programs and Features?
Correct, and all the drivers that were installed with the Boot Camp drivers
could you further advise on how to del. / remove all the drivers that were installed with the Boot Camp drivers?
i have try to delete boot camp services but failed; the same messsage i'm getting
any1 further assist?
I solved the problem by using Microsoft's Program Install and Uninstall troubleshooter to uninstall version 4 of the program "Boot Camp Services". Once version 4 was removed I was then able to successfully run the Bootcamp 5 setup.exe program.
Similar to the experience of other people, I could not remove version 4 of Boot Camp Services from the list of programs in the Control Panel simply by clicking on the "Uninstall" option because each time I tried to uninstall it I received the following error message: "Boot Camp requires that your system is running Windows 7". The only way that I was able to uninstall version 4 of Boot Camp Services was to use Microsoft's troubleshooter
