I tried to use BootCamp from OCLP Sonoma to get the BootCamp drivers for a MacBookPro2012 Retina.
I could not get further until I had an USB stick (not an USB SSD, not another drive, ist MUST be an USB Stick??) and had formatted it to ExFAT. Only then i could start the next step and attempt a dwonload, which consitently crashed: I could never get the drivers.

When I tried to use BootCamp from the Mojave to get the BootCamp drivers I could download, but I got an fully obsolete version only valid for
Windows 7, from which setup.exe never worked on later Windows versions.

Finally I got the decisive advice: use a third party program "Bombardier".
That one, running under Sonoma, downloaded perfectly the BootCamp drivers that Apple's BootCamp always crashed and I could use these drivers without problem to install the drivers for Windows

Why the hell can a third party developer download Apple's software that much better than Apple itself?
