Bootcamp: Windows Support Software save error

1. Can you try the download over a wired connection, if possible?

2. You can download the drivers, but on newer machines, some of the drivers are needed during the Windows installation, for example BT drivers, if you are using a BT Keyboard/Mouse.

Hey Ultronn,

I am having this same issue and can't fix it. Yours just worked one day? Doing them separate i get to the windows install but since my keyboard and mouse won't work I can't go further. how did you by pass this? I am trying one more time and then going to take my usb keyboard and mouse from work and do it. but iv'e had windows on this computer prior to this. but it got a virus so deleted it and re installing and now won't let me.

I tried over numerous days, even bought a new USB stick, and I kept getting the same error. Today, I found another solution online, and that one worked for me. Insert the USB stick (don't remove it until everything's done), reboot in Safe Boot mode (hold left Shift key when you hear the startup chime), start Disk Utility, erase the entire USB stick itself (not its partition) as FAT (it won't mount the stick's partition afterwards since it's in safe mode), then reboot normally and restart Boot Camp Utility to save to the newly-formatted stick.

Hi, maybe its too late but i want to share my success. I also have the same problem like you “Windows support software could not be saved to selected drive. An error occurred while saving the Windows support Software” Popping multiple time of my trial. Then i try to changing my USB Drive 16GB USB 2.0 and its amazing the error doesn't show anymore. Hope this simple way can help.
