I need to install Boot Camp version 4 on my mid-2008 MBP (because it doesn't support BCv5), yet I seem unable to find a download on Apple's downloads page. All I can find is either updates for other versions or the Windows drivers. I don't need either. I need Boot Camp version 4. Can somebody please provide me with a direct link to the file?
Sorry, if this question is redundant.
Thanks in advance,
Daniel

Thank you for your help!
But I get hung at steps 2 and 3. What "Boot Camp Disk Image" are they referring to? There is no .dmg file anywhere. Also, how do I copy something "to the root level"? Or do they simply mean: not in any sub-directory?
Thanks in advance again,
Daniel
The step 2 is referring to the file you have downloaded from that page, in this cause, a DMG with the Boot Camp drivers. If you haven't changed anything from Safari settings, it should be in Downloads folder.
The step 3 is referring to copy the drivers to the USB drive but without storing them inside a folder you have on the USB drive. Furthermore, I recommend you to delete everything you have on the USB drive and then, copy the drivers
¡Hola!
Well, there is no .dmg file. The download was a .zip file and it decompressed autimatically yielding a simple folder with a number of folders in it.
I will now try to burn this folder "onto the root level"of a CD. Good idea?
If this doesn't work I might want to know where to get this .dmg file from as well as what the $WinPEDriver$ are. These I do not find even with the help of a spotlight search. Aaah, I'll chase him round Good Hope, and round the Horn, and round the Norway Maelstrom, and round perdition's flames before I give him up!
Thank you!

Don't worry. I forgot that Apple provides the Boot Camp drivers from the Apple website as a ZIP, so you just have to decompress it and copy the files to a USB drive. However, you can burn them to a CD without any problem. To do it, just select all the files you got after decompressing the ZIP and choose Burn
mende1, the problem here is that the link you provided is a support software once Windows is installed with bootcamp. What he needs is the DMG file in order to install the Bootcamp 4. This is the same reason I'm here. I can't seem to find the actual installer for bootcamp 4 and only find updates or support downloads. I own a Mid 2007 iMac which currently runs on Mountain Lio and bootcamp 5 but can't install 64bit windows. I'd need to get either 32bit Windows 7 or downgrade bootcamp in order to instal previous versions of windos like Vista, XP, etc...
S4mmy113,
I'm on a 2008 Aluminum Macbook, running 10.8.3 with Bootcamp 5. I have tried installing Win 7 64-bit and Win 7 32-bit, and unfortunately, both didn't work.
I could not install the Bootcamp 5 drivers (for obvious reasons).
I could not install these drivers on Win 7 32-bit for some reason: http://support.apple.com/kb/DL1635
So I guess my point here is getting Win 7 32-bit might not even work for those of us using old machines with Bootcamp 5.
Anyway, I'm still downloading the link in this thread to see if it works. (http://support.apple.com/kb/DL1630)
Did you ever figure out where to get the Boot Camp 4 Installer (.dmg file)? I am running 10.8 but need to install WinXP. Boot Camp 5 will not support this and I need to install v.4 on my Mac, but I can only find the support software, not the actual Mac installer.
I also have this same issue. I have Mt. Lion on the Late 2008 all aluminum MacBook, which has BC5 on it. I followed the instructions to the letter, installed Windows 7 Ultimate x64 (which runs) but when I tried to install the bootcamp drvers and support from my USB drive, am told that the version is incompatible and will not run. I tried all the things from the other posts about getting around this incompatible message, but none have worked, so have decided to try BC4 (as I would rather have XP anyway.)
SO, where is the Bootcamp 4 software that starts the process. I have this sofware, but not the DMG needed to install BootCamp 4.x to my Mac partition.
Anyone?

I found Boot Camp 4.0.1 on a recovery disk I had made for Lion (10.7). Was able to install on MacMini (late 2012) running Mountain Lion (10.8.4). It worked as expected and began installing my copy of Vista 32-bit.
The install didn't succeed because my USB connected input divices were not acknowledged, none-the-less, That's where I found Boot Camp 4
SIGH! Sadly, I never had a Lion disk. I updated to Lion from Snow Leopard thorugh the App store if I recall, and I no longer see where one can download Lion from the App Store. (Anyone see this?)
No big deal. I actually went back to my disc verson of Snow Leopard, and used that Boot Camp there to install Windows XP, which is what I wanted on the old MacBook anyway, and that is working well now. Well, everything except adding a second monitor externally.

Thanks, djdavidor, that file has saved me twice now. It's really the only way to get around the stupid "feature" built in to later versions of Boot Camp that doesn't seem to understand having both 32 and 64 bit versions in the same ISO.
I just tried to use the version djdavidor shared above -- things were going very well for awhile. I could run Bootcamp 4 and was able to start the process of getting the iso onto my properly formatted thumb drive (I have the iso on the mac's desktop. About halfway through I got this error message: "Can't install the software because it is not currently available from the Software Update server."
I have a legit downloaded iso of Win 7 but it's a 32 and 64 bit combo so of course it won't work with Bootcamp 5. Thus I'm trying to use BC 4. I'm on a Macbook Air 13 inch Early 2014.
