Retina 5K - AMD Boot Camp Driver failure

This is the correct version for your specific Mac. Did the steps in following link not work? What is the driver version after you follow this steps? Did you choose your specific GPU card?

Please try the steps in How do I get bootcamp 6.1 / AMD 15.201.2001.0 drivers .

In the Bootcamp.xml, this is the entry for the GPU driver.

good morning Loner T

The file downloaded from apple :

During installation screen turns few seconds to black and make a bell notification. The log file with "reussit" translation : "success"

but grrrr :

Using amd clean uninstall and did it again whithout reboot :This time the installation failed and got an basic card

This is crazy ...

After rebooting. It's still the basic graphic card (No more AMD). Choosing the file, entering the path

The system returns that (already the best driver)

that's the correct path ??

This is a WHQL driver. This will not work on the iMac. Try the 15.201.2000.000 driver. The AMD installer is not a very reliable indicator of success. Use pnputil to clean the driver store. If you have a Generic display driver, you can remove all AMD driver files from the Windows driver store.

You should remove the WHQL driver from the driver store using pnputil.

Can you give me the link .. I don't want choose the bad one ... The one I tried :

http://support.amd.com/en-us/download/desktop/bootcamp

directly for bootcamp .. but with WHQL

ok the last without WHQL is a beta version, at least that's the last 🙂

Use the BCA and download the drivers to a USB. Let us verify the Bootcamp.xml and Product version and AMD driver. You will need to use pnputil to clean the driver store - https://technet.microsoft.com/en-us/library/cc730875.aspx .

Loner T - you state "You should be using 6.0.6237 or higher" but in my BootCamp.XML which came out of the download of the latest Apple support software indicates it is 6.0.6133 which is what just came off of the Apple Site.

This could be one potential problem. I'm hoping to find the time to get this going this weekend if all goes well.

This is the hardware I'm running:

iMac 15,1

CPU: Intel Corei7

Processor Speed 4 ghz

Processors: 1

Number of Cores: 4

L2 Cache per Core 256 KB

L3 Cache: 8 MB

Memory 24GB

Boot Rom IM151.0207.B05

SMC: 2.22116

Model Name: iMac

Model Identifier:

No hardware detected ...

iMac 15,1 and iMac 17,1 will download different versions. You can use Brigadier to download the 17,1 drivers and test. Please create a Windows System Restore point.

wow a new thing :

After the reboot this message for an upgrade . Testing it now then reboot 🙂

Please create a Windows System Restore point first.

This is what I get with regards to the display driver bring installed in Bootcamp.XML for the video display card:

<Name> "Advanced Micro Devices, Inc." Display Driver

<InfName>C7186304.inf</InfName>

<Class>Display</Class>

<ClassGUID>{4D36E968-E325-11CE-BFC1-08002BE10318}</ClassGUID>

<CatalogFile>C7186304.CAT</CatalogFile>

<Provider> "Advanced Micro Devices, Inc."</Provider>

<DriverVer>07/15/2015, 15.200.1060.0000</DriverVer>

<ServiceBinary>atikmdag.sys</ServiceBinary>

<HardwareID></HardwareID>

<isX64>yes</isX64>

As you can see, instead of it being 15.201.2001.0000 it is 15.200.1060.0000 which would seem to be an older driver.

However, this is what is being downloaded from the boot camp assistant to the USB jump drive.

That's why it probably keeps failing repeatedly.

So, do we have a legit source for 15.201.2001.0000 that I can download onto the jump drive so this is used instead?

As far as going into device manager and attempting to go for a generic driver if I attempt to uninstall the 290X driver it eliminates the video display adapter section in Device Manager. It previously would go back to generic video display adapter but now it deletes that section entirely.

If I tell it to scan for hardware changes it installs the incorrect driver again.

If I go into PNPUTIL to rid the driver store of AMD drivers it lets me eliminate most but some indicate that the driver is in use and cannot be uninstalled.

Now windows upgrade is finished. After a lonnnnnng download.

After that the ati installation doesn't stop .. With a success at the end 🙂. A Big hope ??? Nop

The same error 43 ... Windows notification : to prevent problems.

Giviiiing up. First action Monday i''ll back to the store and i'll change this fu... Imac to an macbook pro with an Nvidia graphic card. More than 2000 euros fir an basic system card.
