4/7/2023 0 Comments Apple boot camp not working![]() ![]() When they transferred the downloaded software to me, I received it as a folder named "WindowsSupport". We both have Boot Camp Assistant Version 6.1.0. In any case, I managed to bribe my friend into using their Mac to download the Windows Support software from their computer, which is also running 10.13.6. Furthermore, the heavy load drops the internet connection sometimes, so I'd have to download from the beginning all over again. Estimates vary from 900 minutes to 3000 minutes. How can I bypass the Boot Camp Assistant Windows Support Software download step? Hello!I have a pretty abysmal internet connection (0.4 Mbps down) and downloading the Support software is simply not feasible. They made a choice to handhold users through disk formatting instead of just having a download. Are they keeping users from downloading the wrong versions of stuff? Possible but there are other ways to do that. Is apple protecting IP and software licenses. Any other system would just have an installer and even an update agent for download. Oh, but this section just troubleshoots problems you have with formatting your USB drive and with USB drive recommendations. Ok that's cool now I know I'm looking for some "Boot Camp Installer" that needs to run on my Windows sideģ) But of course there's no link to a "Boot Camp Installer" I needed to use the Assistant from the MacOS side and the thumb drive.Ĥ) Wait wait, here's a section called "If you can't download or save the Windows support software:" ![]() Ok this looks useful but the process is written for a fresh format and install of Windows.Ģ) "If the Boot Camp Installer Doesn't Open." I felt like showing a bit more of the process:ġ) "install Windows on a Mac with Boot Camp Assistant" Thank you for responses that stick to the point and answer the question. Many other situations would involve going to a web page and downloading an installer so I'm asking here for what I'm missing. In anticipation to some responses, we can argue about it if you want but it'll be a waste of energy. The latest date on anything I can find here is from 2015.Īnother page directs me to use the boot camp assistant, but it requires that I have a thumb drive (ready to be reformatted), and I must reboot into MacOS I'm not going to do that. The message either states lack of support for Windows 10 or you have the wrong version of Boot Camp.I have looked for a while now. The fact that you do not mention running Setup.exe, but instead mention BootCamp.msi, indicates that you did run Setup.exe which terminated early with an error message. If this is true, then you should have included this in your question. In this case, Apple does not support Windows 10 for your Mac. The other possibility is your Mac Pro is older than the 2013 model. If you did this, then most likely the wrong Windows Support Software was downloaded. My best guess would be you used the Boot Camp Assistant on a Mac of a different year and/or model to download the Windows Support Software. You can post a comment, if I am wrong about this. Your question indicates you downloading the Windows Support Software after installing Windows. Windows Update may also provide software. Afterwards, additional software can be installed through the Apple Software Update application. Once Widows is installed, additional software can be installed by executing the Setup.exe application included in Windows Support Software. In this case, having the Windows Support Software available to the Windows installer during the installation process may not be necessary. If you have an older Mac and are using the current Windows 10 release, then most likely any required drivers in the Windows Support Software will be already included in the Windows 10 release. ![]() This is so the Windows installer can access any drivers included in the Windows Support Software that are not already part of the installation software provided by Microsoft. Unless you have one of the very early Intel Macs, the Windows Support Software is suppose to be available to the Windows installer during the installation process. ![]()
