For everybody out there who can't download Bootcamp utilities from the Bootcamp Assistant, there it is (I've been trying for weeks and it kept stopping right in the middle of the download).

This has been downloaded from Apple, with the Bootcamp Assistant on a late 2009 MBP 13"

Version 4.0

All languages available.

Just run the setup.exe from Windows and it will install all required drivers.

Tested on Windows 8 Pro 32 bits, seems to work flawlessly, and it doesn't display an error message like "this version of Windows is not supported" (I had this kind of message with every Bootcamp package I downloaded on TPB).

Works on Windows 7 x32 et x64

I don't know if it works on previous Windows version, but you're welcome to share in comments.

Enjoy :)

PS : be a little patient with the download at first, I'm stuck at about 400kB/s upload until november 1st.

Precision: I tested on Windows 8 Pro WMC 32 bits installed on my mid 2009 13" MacBook Pro (MBP 5,5) and it did work.

Any feedback on other machines is appreciated (especially with 64 bits W8)

Works like a charm on Windows 8 Pro x64 on macbook late 2009 (Core 2 Duo 2.26GHz, 4 Go DDR3, GeForce 9400M)

I just needed to update the graphics driver (from nvidia.com) because it's not compatible with Windows 8 (causes random freezes).

But, by updating this driver with the latest WHQL, I lost the capability to control brightness from the keyboard (known bug for all nvidia drivers newer than the one released by Apple with Bootcamp).

I don't know who is to blame to lost this control : Nvidia for having change something in the driver API ? Or Apple for having modify the Nvidia driver to fit his need ?

After all, thanks for that upload : Apple sucks at not providing this on his website.

We're waiting for them to release Bootcamp for Windows 8 !

I didn't have any problem with the Nvidia driver provided in this version of Bootcamp running on Windows 8 Pro x86 on my MBP (same year as yours, but better proc). Maybe there are compatibility issues with the 64 bits Windows 8.

Anyway, I also tested it on a later MacBook Pro (Geforce 320M chip) with Win 8 Pro x86 and it worked :-)

And you're welcome, I spent hours trying to find this on Apple's website but they don't provide it... Glad to help !
