Dear reader,
Recently I updated my Windows version of my MacBook Pro 16,1 BootCamp setup to Windows 11. Now I ran into the problem that my build in keyboard and trackpad were not working anymore. I had to overcome this issue by connecting a separate keyboard and mouse on a USB port.
I downloaded the software in the BootCamp utility on macOS that is compatible with my laptop, in this case version: Boot Camp drivers 6.1.6655. But when trying to startup the setup.exe I get the following error: This version of boot camp is not intented for this computer.
To come around this follow the instructions below:
Installation via Command Line
Navigate to the Boot Camp directory:
Open a command prompt with administrator privileges
# cd BootCamp\Drivers\Apple
List the contents to confirm:
# dir
Force install the BootCamp drivers:
#msiexec /i BootCamp.msi
Now it starts the BootCamp driver installation procedure for all the Apple devices without the fatal error it presented before.
Enjoy
