Hi everyone ,hope all having a good time , ,I am really hoping to get some answer for my issue here as it has tough last few days looking for answer hrs :)

I am on rMBP late 2013 , have upgraded from W7 to Windows 10 few days ago and had BSOD , but I solved that by changing MacHalDriver.sys to .bak .

Now I have problem installing the drivers , I got the drivers using bootcamp assistant version 6.xx on usb ,,, but I get error in middle of installation stating wrong path or similar ( will attach photos when I get to my mac ) ,, I got exact same problem, when I updated Apple software driver update via windows update .

I did all this , because cannot figure out how to bring Bluetooth up , it looks like it doesn’t exists on my Windows! I tried so many thing for my Bluetooth already (didn’t haveBT on W7 last 2yrs either)

What I done so far / BT is off on os part :

1-checked Device Manager /view /show hidden devices /failed

2-Device Manager /action/scan for hardware change /failed

3-Tried to install from the file I DL from apple called like something like : "AppleBluetoothInstaller64 " from bootCamp6.xx /which I Downloaded manually/failed.

4-looked for deleting a file called : MotioninJoy in device manager but I don't have it , should I look for it elsewhere , like in windows driver ?

5- uploaded using bootcamp assistant / not able to install drivers

6- apple driver update via windows update / failed .

I appreciate if you shed some light .
Will attach photos later , thanks.

I finally found a way to pass Windows installer preventing bootcamp driver update (I used the link provided but I gone slightly different way)

Here is the solution for :

1-Not being able to install bootcamp drivers on windows 10 and getting error "installed product does not match installation source .

2-Bluetooth not working on Windows 10 , even getting message "there is not bluetooth on this device ,please use external bluetooth)


Here is what I did :

1-Click the start button and type in "regedit". Right click -> Run as administrator

Navigate to HKEY_CLASSES_ROOT\Installer\Products and find the folder "A2C2B2AF14AEA5943980062716525D26". Rename that folder to something like "_A2C2B2AF14AEA5943980062716525D26" or whatever. You can also export it (as a backup) and then just delete it,it might take some time to find the folder ,take a good look ,there are so many folders in there and try not to mess other folders // after that close regedit.

install setup.exe from usb you already created (using bootcamp assistant) ,you can also direct DL on your windows part and go other way which I provide you with the link that explained it that way .

If you're still getting a "Windows Installer stopped working" dialog , just ignore it and click on "Close Windows Installer" and BC should continue to install , after installation complete it will ask you to restart your computer ,if it didn't ask , you restart anyway.

Be aware some people have had problem opening apps like Office etc ,others had some problem with audio but they all are explained on the other link I provide you ,just take a look .

For me all my driver actually works fine and I was able to open Excel but didn't have office to try ,however I have had another small glitch which trake me 15 mins to realise what it is,because I was only thinking about drivers at the time !

If you are using an external monitor (like me) , driver update will scale to random number ,the layout for Apps /Texts etc and at 1st glance it might look like graphic card problem ,but it isn't .even all my resolution was correct ,but items was just simply zoomed in, in ultra size , so just put it back to recommended size and you are good to go .



Now I am a happy chappy typing with my bluetooth keyboard as well as using my bluetooth headphones and mouse all together :))



Good luck to you all .
