Post Drivers on BootCamp Image?

[sat]

So the driver software on the bootcamp driver cd is tied to MacBookPros running XP (the msi won't uncompress in windows server 2003, and also not on a regular xp install on other machines).

I've gone and installed Windows Server 2003 on my mac book pro, and now can't get to the drivers.

Is there any way somebody could put up the extracted drivers from the Mac Book Pro drivers CD (in the Install Macintosh Drvers for Windows XP.exe)?

I don't want to have to reinstall with xp just to get the drivers. (I assume at least some of them will work in Windows Server 2003).

I don't think you have to reinstall Xp to get the drivers. Just download Boot Camp, start the application and burn the CD to get the drivers. :)

They refuse to install. I think it is just a software lock. :mad:

The drivers worked for me, I am using the 6 month Demo version of Server 2003 Enterprise.

Don't burn a CD... if you can get the drivers onto a USB stick. I have them on my thumbdrive... download bootcamp in OSX, right click -> show package contents -> resources I think somewhere in there you can find the .exe just put them on some portable media and then reboot into Windows.

You can manually extract the contents of a .msi file on Windows using this application: http://blogs.pingpoet.com/overflow/archive/2005/06/02/2449.aspx

Hope this helps.

Is this driver package somehow modified to work specifically with the XOM.EFI solution or does it work as well with just the Apple EFI firmware update?
