If anyone who is knowledgeable about reversing setup.exe-like installer wrappers and MSI installers, and Windows systems administration in general, is interested in tackling the currently-somewhat-broken support for silent installs of Boot Camp drivers in this tool, I'd love some help! There are several installer properties in BootCamp.msi that may be of some help with this issue as well. While I maintain some hope to be able to resolve these issues, my environment's use case for dual-boot labs is shrinking and so it's difficult to justify the time required to spend further researching these issues. This error doesn't happen when a user manually runs setup.exe, but why I do not understand. Simply clicking through these dialogs eventually causes the installation to continue, but until that happens the process is blocked. For example, a single driver installer (Intel chipset-related) that pops up a series of WinRAR SFX errors due to it attempting to sequentially execute all of the driver's localization files (which aren't even executable). There have been strange issues I've experienced a couple of years ago as well. This kind of question is one I don't feel I have enough knowledge to attempt an answer. For example, this PR suggests that better results can be achieved by using different "quiet" options to msiexec, but a disassembly of setup.exe shows that it is actually executing /qr, as does the code in the current master branch.

I'm far from knowledgable enough about Windows internals to understand how to be able to perform a fully-automated version of whatever setup.exe actually does (besides eventually run msiexec /i /qr on the MSI).

Some examination of the Boot Camp setup.exe indicates to me that this executable performs several tasks and sets up some environment for the eventual execution of BootCamp.msi, which we're not always able to get with Brigadier's simple invocation of msiexec to install the MSI directly. Some people have confirmed issues with Boot Camp 6 and Windows 7 in general, so these may not be entirely Brigadier's fault. (See Caveats below) Important (!) note on support for Brigadierīrigadier has produced less-than-great results with some combinations of driver packages and hardware models in recent versions of Boot Camp 5, and now with Boot Camp 6. It was originally designed to be run as post-imaging step for Boot Camp deployments to Macs, but as it requires network connectivity, a network driver must be already available on the system.

As of the spring of 2013, Apple has made a number of Boot Camp installer packages available on their support downloads page, but they are still a split across many different different sets of models and it is still inconvenient to ensure you have the correct package.

The steps to do this manually are tedious, and there are many of them.

  • Sometimes we just want to download and extract a copy of the installer for a given model.
  • Apple can already download the correct installer for a booted machine model in OS X using the Boot Camp Assistant, so there's no reason we can't do the same within Windows. It's possible to use the Orca tool to edit the MSI's properties and disable the model check, but there are rarely cases where a single installer contains all drivers.
  • We'd like to maintain as few Windows system images as possible, but there are typically 3-5 BootCampESD packages available from Apple at any given time, targeting specific sets of models.
  • This tool used to use dmg2img to perform the extraction of files from Apple's WindowsSupport.dmg file, but more recent versions of 7-Zip have included more completely support for DMGs, so dmg2img seems to be no longer needed. On Windows, the archives are unpacked using 7-Zip, and the 7-Zip MSI is downloaded and installed, and removed later if Brigadier installed it. It unpacks the multiple layers of archives within the flat package and if the script is run on Windows with the -install option, it also runs the 64-bit MSI installer.
