Bootcamp drivers not working on RMBP & Windows 8

[Dangerous Theory]

I downloaded the bootcamp drivers directly from the bootcamp assistant on my RMBP, but I get the message "This version of Boot Camp is not intended for this computer model."

Have I somehow got the wrong drivers, assuming ones do exist? Or is there a way of bypassing the model check?

Cheers.

other threads have suggested to load the individual drivers manually.

So I saw, but it doesn't allow it. Either get "You need elevated privaleges from setup.exe to execute this" or some other error about being unable to open the drivers.

Anyway, I uninstalled it and installed windows 7 instead that had no issues. Better operating system too.

The drivers installed fine for me. Not sure what the problem was in your case

The only issue I had was that the sound didn't work - but I think that was an EFI issue.

Using older model Macbooks

If you have that error you need to use Windows compatibility troubleshooter to start the drivers install. See the end of this guide:
