I found this and it worked almost perfectly (I get an error on startup that says “HFS+ Disk Support did not start” which doesn’t bother me since my sound control etc work on the keyboard) so I decided to post to make sure I don’t lose it on the net. It works for both 64 and 32 bit systems. This is how to install the drivers for Apple’s keyboard on a Windows machine. Let me know if you want me to post the files themselves.
First of all boot in windows, then insert your Snow Leopard disc. Open a new window to explore disc content. Go to Folder “Boot Camp” > “Drivers” > “Apple”
Copy “BootCamp.msi” or “BootCamp64.msi” to your desktop.
In the same folder copy the file “AppleKeyboardInstaller.exe” or take the one in “x64″ folder if you’re on x64 system. When the two files are copied on your desktop you can eject the disk.
Then with an utility like Winrar or 7-Zip extract the “AppleKeyboardInstaller.exe” content. When it’s done run the file “DPInst.exe”
The keyboard will work now.
After that, search you need to run “BootCamp.msi” as administrator.
To run “BootCamp.msi” as administrator, first of all, you need to open cmd as administrator (“start menu” > “all programs” > accessories > “command prompt” then right click “run as administrator”). In the command prompt, go to your desktop (cd /Users/*your users’ name*/Desktop). Then type “BootCamp.msi”.
When the install is finish, reboot and it’s ok!
Hey thanks for this.
I would love to have the files for win7 32 bits. If you can put the files somewhere such as mediafire or something and post it here.
Also just wondering why if the keyboard is already working, do we need to run bootcamp.msi?
