<p>Recently I was setting up Boot Camp on my old white Macbook.  I decided to use a fresh copy of Windows 7 Home Premium SP1 64-bit.</p>
<p>The install went fine and as Apple suggested, I copied over the windows support files. Awesome. I opened the folder and selected the setup file, and was immediately given the message:<br />
<span style="color: #ff0000;">&#8220;Boot Camp x64 is unsupported on this computer model&#8221;</span></p>
<p><a href="http://joepetruska.com/wordpress/wp-content/uploads/2012/08/bootcamp-error.png"><img class="alignnone size-medium wp-image-220" title="bootcamp-error" src="http://joepetruska.com/wordpress/wp-content/uploads/2012/08/bootcamp-error-300x124.png" alt="" width="300" height="124" /></a></p>
<p>This had to be a mistake. This model clearly supports 64-Bit. It&#8217;s a core 2 duo processor&#8230; and I already installed the operating system.</p>
<p>So I did a little digging, and ended up in &#8220;Drivers\Apple&#8221; looking at a file called BootCamp64.msi. I double clicked it, and was prompted that I needed elevated permissions to continue, and should run setup.exe. This is great advice had I not already tried that. I did find a solution to this problem.</p>
<p><span style="color: #00ff00;">1. Copy the &#8220;WindowsSupport&#8221; folder directly to the &#8220;c:\&#8221; drive.</span></p>
<p><span style="color: #00ff00;">2. Select Start and in the Run box type &#8220;cmd&#8221; on the &#8220;cmd.exe&#8221; icon that show up, right click and select &#8220;Run as Administrator&#8221;</span></p>
<p><a href="http://joepetruska.com/wordpress/wp-content/uploads/2012/08/cmd.jpg"><img class="alignnone size-full wp-image-225" title="cmd" src="http://joepetruska.com/wordpress/wp-content/uploads/2012/08/cmd.jpg" alt="" width="638" height="572" /></a></p>
<p><span style="color: #00ff00;">3. In the run box type &#8220;cd C:\WindowsSupport\Drivers\Apple&#8221; and hit enter.</span></p>
<p><span style="color: #00ff00;">4. Type &#8220;BootCamp64.msi&#8221;</span></p>
<p>From here the installer will launch, and you MAC will now support 64-Bit drivers.</p>
<p>Follow the prompts and reboot as necessary.</p>
<h1><span style="color: #ff0000;">TLDR:</span></h1>
<p><span style="color: #00ff00;">Run command prompt as administrator. Browse to /Drivers/Apple folder. Run BootCamp.msi</span></p>
