"Couldn't find a Boot Camp ESD for the model iMac10,1 in the given software update catalog."

I am on a late 2009 iMac all-in-one, serial W801552H5PE, with Win10 freshly installed

I went into the correct directory where brigadier was with cmd, and typed brigadier.exe --model MacBookPro16,2
when i pressed enter, the cursor will will blink for a while, but returning to the state before typing the command

Why don't you update this app & develop a GUI for it!

Hi,

Please help, What could be the cause of this error 403: Forbidden. It was downloading yesterday, but due to not enough space, it failed during extraction. Therefore, I erased the windows partition and reinstall in a bigger partition size this time, but now this error occured.

Hi,

I would like to know how to uninstall the driver.
I successfully installed it but now the Boot Camp control panel cannot be deactivated whatever.

There is no uninstall option in the Boot Camp services in "Add or Remove programs".

I'm on Windows 10 Pro...

Thanks a lot for your help!!

Hi,
I try to download the drivers for my iMac 27'' late 2013 for W10: The program shows download actity and then ends without error message but leaves the download folder empty.
What's wrong?

If we just run brigadier.exe on Windows with no arguments, but a 7zip install would be required, we just fail spectacularly. We should bail early if it's determined that admin rights will be needed to install 7zip.

Hi, cool project.

I'm working in an area with very limited internet access. I have the appropriate BootCampESD.pkg for my system already downloaded, and I have brigadier on that system. The system only has Windows. Now, how can I point brigadier to the local pkg and convert it to a Windows executable?

Thanks

Running Brigadier produces this error:

Hello,

I followed a guide for installing the drivers for my MacPro5,1 from here:

https://forums.macrumors.com/threads/how-to-boot-camp-without-a-boot-screen.2114788/page-9#post-26689280

My Problem is with that part:

14. Open Command Prompt (search CMD can find it)

15. type
    Code:
    e:

16. type
    Code:
    brigadier -m MacPro5,1

17. Once finished, rename the "Bootcampxxxxxxxxxx" folder to "Bootcamp5"

18. search CMD again, but this time right click, and choose "run as admin"

19. type
    Code:
    e:

20. type
    Code:
    cd Bootcamp5/Bootcamp/Drivers/Apple

21. type
    Code:
    msiexec /i bootcamp.msi

When I try to execute that command, it says, I need to install windows 7, even though I have windows 10 1803 version installed.

I tried it several times. Is there an issue with the downloaded files or how can I fix that issue?

Thx in advance

This isn't a Brigadier bug, but in case anyone's still using MacBookPro8,1 (2011) and trying to install Windows, the 031-11269 BootCamp distribution is incompatible. 031-55710 works perfectly (after fixing the DSDT issue with asl and testsigning mode).

Hi,

This is a query, not an issue. While downloading a bootcamp my MacBook Pro running Windows 10 64bit went into standby after about 25% of download was completed. Does it resume the download when the wakes up again. Till half an hour there is no activity.

Thanks

Hello,

I am seeing this error when running both the exe on Windows or executing the python script on OSX. I have a custom .plist that I have been using with success that points to our local SUS server. There were two recent ESDs (091-7571 and 091-5062) that were released that I am wondering if it is having issues with, as I have run this tool successfully before on the same model. Other models, at least the ones I have tested, do not have issues. Here is the error when running the script.

Using Mac model: MacBookAir6,2.

If I run the tool without the plist and go to Apple's SUS it is fine. Here is the plist I am using.

Here are the logs of the client on the SUS server:

Hi

Can you tell me what kind of model did you choose for this computer?

https://support.apple.com/kb/sp586?locale=en_US

Windows 1903

First of all, I tried the part of this guide to solve some issues with missing drivers:

"m) Delete all contents of C:\Insttemp WX
n) Download BootCamp 4.0.4033.zip <=== please choose the most recent version for your system ===>
o) Copy the downloaded file to C:\Insttemp WX
p) Extract the downloaded file to C:\Insttemp WX ( so that you can see a C:\Insttemp WX\Bootcamp folder after extraction )
q) In device manager, navigate to "Other devices - Coprocessor" and select it
r) Driver -> Update driver -> Browse my computer for driver software -> C:\Insttemp WX\BootCamp\Drivers\NVidia\NVidiaChipset64\SMU and click next. Wait until the update is finished.
s) In device manager, navigate to "Other devices - SM Bus Controller" and select it
t) Driver -> Update driver -> Browse my computer for driver software -> C:\Insttemp WX\BootCamp\Drivers\NVidia\NVidiaChipset64\SMBUS and click next. Wait until the update is finished.
u) Reboot your Mac"

I tried different Nvidia drivers (Bootcamp, Nvidia website), and I always see a black screen after rebooting my computer.

Additionally, I tried this method, but it doesn't work because probably PCI registers were set incorrectly by me using values from the post below:

I've "finally" persuaded where I am to try Brigadier as the amount of images one man is maintaining is getting frankly ridiculous.

Now my colleague preinstalls his images with 7zip version 9.2. This sadly does two things: 1) installs into the program files x86 directory and 2) causes the 7zip package brigadier needs to not be installed due to the detection code not picking up that it's the wrong version.

End result is the package fails to decompress and the installation fails.

May I suggest as a quick + dirty hack a forcible uninstall of any existing 7zip installs before putting on the version brigadier requires? We're going to work around this by no preinstalling it in future.

Am I the only one having this?
How can I fix it?

I am getting this error.

Platform- Windows 10 64

H:>brigadier.exe
Using Mac model: Precision 5520.

Couldn't find a Boot Camp ESD for the model Precision 5520 in the given software update catalog.

With the release of Windows 10 Drivers the software always grabs the latest version. This latest version will not install with the installer on Windows 7 x64 with the tested model (Mac Mini Mid 2012). Can we specify a target OS version?

32-bit processes will get redirected on a 64-bit OS to the SysWOW64 subdirectory when attempting to access System32 unless ... you instead attempt to access sysnative like:

%windir%\sysnative

http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/aa384187(VS.85).aspx

Just a suggestion as a possible alternative directory to change to instead of the system drive root.

So, after successfully downloading the installESD.pkg, and then having the install failed due to the hard coded 7-zip url now being invalid (manual install of 7-zip worked around that). Then discovering that the download is deleted when the app exits, I ran the app again using -k -I options. The install failed because a log was not found. Good news is that the files were still there, so I ran the app again with admin rights and the first thing it did was delete the files.

What is the point of having a flag (-k) to say keep the files, if their going to be deleted on a subsequent execution? Perhaps a better solution would be to check if the file is there and then attempt to use it.

I see that an update was made to handle the overlapping ESDs by searching for the bootcampautoupdate tag, however in doing this brigadier will download the older package. The sucatalog file does have a date field. Instead Would it be a good idea to use the date field to compare which package is the newest and download that one?

it downloaded all the 6GB but it only left an empty folder named bootcamp_061....

Perhaps not a brigadier issue per se, but maybe someone could help...

Disabling Windows firewall did not help...

Hi There,

I've noticed that if I run brigadier with the option to specify model=MacBookPro7,1 it downloads BootCamp-041-2011 however I noticed when I used model=MacBookPro8,1 that it downloaded BootCamp-041-7018 which also lists MacBookPro7,1 as compatible.

I've noticed this with a few other models as well, will post them here when I make a list of them.

cheers,
Craig

Any thoughts on why we would be getting this error all the sudden?

Tracking interest in supporting 32-bit Windows with the --install option. The latest ESD for iMac13 and Macmini6 is 64-bit only, worth noting.

Installer opens and immediately exists when running it on Target machine (Windows 10)

Whenever I download the MacPro5,1 drivers, it downloads but gets stuck at 1 specific point. I have 7-zip installed but it just can't complete the install.

I have 7-zip 18.05 installed in a custom path. 7-zip stores its location in the HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\7-Zip\Path and Path64 values. Brigadier fails to locate it, tries to install it, then fails:

We need to install 7-Zip..

7-Zip install returned exit code 1603.

Shouldn't the 7-zip path in the registry be used instead of the current detection system?

As of yesterday, two new ESD updates now offer two different installers for a large cross-section of Mac models, which use a special tag in the dist file: BootCampAutoUnattend

These work by executing the setup.exe as a FirstLogonAction, but the actual installation is still manually initiated.

Very preliminary testing seems to show that these unattend versions can still be installed silently using the msiexec command we already use.

One solution would probably be to simply prefer the BootCampAutoUnattend tag if it exists, but some further testing should be done to determine what scenario Boot Camp Assistant will pull one or the other.

Currently, the iMac13,3 (a 3TB-equipped iMac with special EFI code to support exposing GPT to Windows??) is a previously-unlisted-in-ESDs model that's only available the AutoUnattend driver version.

A temporary solution to prevent it from breaking on all other models has been pushed in version 0.1.3, which simply skips any dist found with a BootCampAutoUnattend tag.

Hi,

Thanks for taking the time to develop this tool. I'm getting a failure at the point Brigadier is trying to extract the 7zip file. Here's the console ouput:

Not sure if this is a bug or something with my system, so any thoughts would be greatly appreciated.

It is not really an issue with brigadier itself but today when you try to download 9,1 or 9,2 MacBookPro drivers it fails. The problem seems to come from Apple servers because http://swcdn.apple.com/content/downloads/11/05/041-0925/g27es04pw9re5ggrfp3vuf8ew6r53asfz8/041-0925.English.dist is empty

Created a quick small list of current available bootcamp drivers with some details http://pastebin.com/29viXEAv

Sometimes there are multiple products for a model. As an example, there are two different products for Macmini6,2 as of today: 031-12187 has a BootCamp tag, 031-0787 has a BootCampAutoUnattend tag.

Since this is a machine without an optical drive, what would cause it to pick anything but BootCampAutoUnattend? (Old OS?) Should we just always prefer the one with AutoUnattend unless the user specifies otherwise?

Your last release listed the catalog for Mavericks as an update.

That was a while back, can we update to Yosemite now or is it too soon?

It spends 10 minutes downloading nothing - the directory it says on the screen that it's creating and saving to is completely empty after the process. There are files in temp, but again it says on the screen that it's is saving it somewhere else. The file in the temp folder is a .pkg, but after extracting with 7zip, there is just another unknown file. It did not install anything with the -i and like it says in the title just doesn't seem to work as it should. I'm going to just use another method, but wanted to let you know that this might be out of date.

no sound coming from my macpro1,1 w10 insiders I mean I see sound mixer but no sound comes out when I try youtube in edge or even pianobar ;(

Hi,
I downloaded bootcamp but an error is reported when setup.exe is started:
Boot Camp x64 is unsupported on this computer model

the windows version installed is 8.1 on a MacBook5.2
can I do something to fix it?

Thanks

Gianluca

Hello,

I DLed brigadier.exe 0.2.4 and ran it on a fresh install of Win10 x64 on a macbook2,1.
It found 2 different compatible bootcamp ESDs and DLed the most recent one (approx. 620MB).
Then it quickly displayed something about 7zip and the terminal window closed... The DL folder was empty...

I read this issue (#22) and thus went looking into C:\Users<user>\AppData\Local\Temp\ and found a bootcamp directory containing BootcampESD.pkg (approx. 620MB) and another directory containing 7z1514-x64.msi (7zip install file). I installed 7zip and then tried to do unpack the pkg file but it didn't work (I end up with a "payload" file).

What should I do with the pkg file?

Thank you very much in advance for your help.
Best,
-a-

Hi Tim,

Great app, I think it will be just what we need to deploy to our macs we set up for customers that want Windows installed as default.

Ideally, what id do is deploy my generzlied sysprepped clone - boot it for them once so all the drivers are installed and then when it came to start setting up the system, shut down with CTRL+F10 and typing "shutdown /s" that way our novice users will be presenter with their Win 7 or Win 8.1 OOBE screen without any long wait or driver downloads/restarts

The problem with this for me is, we have a really slow internet connection, so continually loading the drivers is a nightmare - would it not make more sense to have all the drivers available in Apple's Boot Camp catalog within the image? Is there a reason for this? (huge size?) - failing that, how about on an external drive...I suppose the issue here is the same as the network one, you don't have Thunderbolt/USB3 support straight away?

So presumably the custom URL case would be for us to server them on our LAN? At least then the computer would be getting them are near gigabit speeds instead of over our dire internet - do you have a tutorial on how we might be able to grab all the ESD and drivers for all the current Mac's in the Apple Store and the catalog file to host them on our internet/lan server?

when running either .\brigadier.exe -m "iMac21,2" or .\brigadier.exe -m "iMac21,1", I get Couldn't find a Boot Camp ESD for the model iMac21,2 in the given software update catalog.

I ran brigadier.exe multiple times already, and I can see in the console that it is downloading the files, however, the output folder is always empty at the end of the download.
Do you guys know what's happening ?

Seems to be a new PKG which i've put on my local network, but then installer throws up an error message saying installer doesn't exist, when you click ok bootcamp setup launches anyway, so not sure if its one part of installation missing or a rogue warning message - breaks unattended installation though.

This looks to be Apple's fault not yours, but the versions that brigadier is choosing to download are on older branches of the tree, in many cases. For example, with the model Macmini5,2, it returns:
031-0787: PostDate 2014-02-11 21:35:32
031-11273: PostDate 2015-02-09 18:42:37
Selecting 031-11273 as it's the most recently posted.

But 11273 turns out to be Boot Camp v4, whereas 0787 is v5. I'm trying to work around this at the moment by using brigadier's output to figure out the URL to download the PKG manually, but some way for brigadier to either find out the actual Boot Camp version number, or to let me specify on the command line something like "--package 031-0787", would be much smoother.

Thanks so much for this tool!

Hi Tim,
We have used Brigadier in our Organization for a couple of years to run in the firstruncommands section of an OOBE windows 7 Boot Camp image we created and it generally downloads all windows 7 drivers fine.
However, we have recently bootcamped (windows 7 64 bit installation) some 5k iMacs (iMac15,1 models) and our techs are reporting that it installs all drivers fine, except the AMD vga drivers. I am told (as I have not personally had a chance to test myself) that It does not give any indication of error and actually appears to all run successfully but no specific AMD drivers are installed.
We tried the latest 0.2.2 Brigadier exe but it did not resolve the issue. Any ideas of what may be happening?

Many Thanks,
Alan Martyn (UAL IT Dept. London)
