BOOT CAMP SUPPORT DOWNLOADS DIRECT LINKS FROM APPLE
If you own a Mac and you wanted to install Windows on it to run maybe some Windows software or games, Apple makes it possible by releasing Windows drivers which will allow Windows to run on your Mac computer.
Since 123myIT has some videos on how to install Windows on your Mac we thought it fitting that we create a page which contains all the versions of the Windows Support Software in one place.
The following downloads contain the Windows Support Software (Windows Drivers) needed to run Windows on your Mac.

General Boot Camp questions about installing Windows 8 on a Mac
The list above should be up to date. If we have missed any version please contact us.
I have looked for a while now. I have found a download page here:
https://support.apple.com/downloads/boot-camp
The latest date on anything I can find here is from 2015.
Another page directs me to use the boot camp assistant, but it requires that I have a thumb drive (ready to be reformatted), and I must reboot into MacOS I’m not going to do that. In anticipation to some responses, we can argue about it if you want but it’ll be a waste of energy.
Many other situations would involve going to a web page and downloading an installer so I’m asking here for what I’m missing.
Thank you for responses that stick to the point and answer the question.
I felt like showing a bit more of the process:
1) «install Windows on a Mac with Boot Camp Assistant» https://support.apple.com/en-us/HT201468
Ok this looks useful but the process is written for a fresh format and install of Windows.
Here’s a link for:
2) «If the Boot Camp Installer Doesn’t Open…» https://support.apple.com/en-us/HT208495
Ok that’s cool now I know I’m looking for some «Boot Camp Installer» that needs to run on my Windows side
3) But of course there’s no link to a «Boot Camp Installer» I needed to use the Assistant from the MacOS side and the thumb drive.
4) Wait wait, here’s a section called «If you can’t download or save the Windows support software:»
Oh, but this section just troubleshoots problems you have with formatting your USB drive and with USB drive recommendations.
I don’t know why it’s like this. Any other system would just have an installer and even an update agent for download. Is apple protecting IP and software licenses. Possible. Are they keeping users from downloading the wrong versions of stuff? Possible but there are other ways to do that.
They made a choice to handhold users through disk formatting instead of just having a download.
I’m setting up my MacBook Air for a Windows-only boot setup.
This was easy enough. It already had rEFIt on it, I just connected a Windows 7 boot thumb drive, and away I went.
However, it seems Apple does not let you download Bootcamp drivers outside of their assistant tool. Reinstalling OS X just for the drivers is ridiculous.
This laptop no longer has OS X on it at all. How do I get the required drivers? I cannot find them anywhere on Apple’s support pages.
Every other manufacturer has their drivers available for download.
How do I download the Windows drivers for my 2010 MacBook Air without the BootCamp Assistant?

Yes, It is possible to download the Bootcamp drivers outside of the Bootcamp tool:

-
timothy-sutton’s answer will make your life so much easier, go there first
-
For Windows 7 through 10, Apple have published a table of ‘which download you need for which model’ at https://support.apple.com/kb/HT5634. Win 7 download might work for Vista.
-
For WinXP, see robmathers’ answer.
-
The hard way which follows here, taken from
http://www.cafe-encounter.net/p682/download-bootcamp-drivers is your fallback if you want or need to work it from scratch.- Download from Apple the http://swscan.apple.com/content/catalogs/others/index-lion-snowleopard-leopard.merged-1.sucatalog file. Don’t double-click it.
- Open the index-lion-snowleopard-leopard.merged-1.sucatalog file in a text editor or word processor.
- Search for each occurrence — as at August 2012 there were 6 — of BootCampESD.pkg. For instance, the one I needed is http://swcdn.apple.com/content/downloads/33/54/041-2011/pRtCDYcWShMLxFggy3TzFzmfnnWQNFQBfJ/BootCampESD.pkg
- Notice in each such URL, the /041-2011/ or similar /041-XXXXX/ bit of it.
- Below each such occurrence, notice the URL for a file with the same 041-XXXXX in it and ending in English.dist, e.g. 041-2011.English.dist
- Paste the URL for each such English.dist file into your browser and open that url. Here’s a list of them:
- http://swcdn.apple.com/content/downloads/11/05/041-0925/g27es04pw9re5ggrfp3vuf8ew6r53asfz8/041-0925.English.dist
- http://swcdn.apple.com/content/downloads/53/34/041-4776/TpFRDjFyRJjSvtyj2vFsPyx2bH2NSYvwN9/041-4776.English.dist
- http://swcdn.apple.com/content/downloads/55/51/041-3891/se4uhpqng48t842cdsosqh28lft54fmswl/041-3891.English.dist
- http://swcdn.apple.com/content/downloads/32/15/041-4775/hgMfrNHd9W8W7d8n4JyqSFLksk5TYr2HXN/041-4775.English.dist
- http://swcdn.apple.com/content/downloads/32/33/041-2303/W5jKtsQhhMgMXs3TKhPDqLXrpXyY2HdXMN/041-2303.English.dist
- http://swcdn.apple.com/content/downloads/33/54/041-2011/pRtCDYcWShMLxFggy3TzFzmfnnWQNFQBfJ/041-2011.English.dist
- Search for the Model Identifier for your Mac. For instance MacBookPro5,2 or Macmini4,1.
- For instance the 041-2011 file contains these models: MacBook2,1 MacBook3,1 MacBook4,1 MacBook5,1 MacBook5,2 MacBook5,3 MacBook6,1 MacBook7,1 MacBookAir1,1 MacBookAir2,1 MacBookAir3,1 MacBookAir3,2 MacBookPro2,1 MacBookPro2,2 MacBookPro3,1 MacBookPro4,1 MacBookPro5,1 MacBookPro5,2 MacBookPro5,3 MacBookPro5,4 MacBookPro5,5 MacBookPro6,1 MacBookPro6,2 MacBookPro7,1 MacBookPro8,1 MacBookPro8,2 MacBookPro8,3 MacPro1,1 MacPro2,1 MacPro3,1 MacPro4,1 MacPro5,1 Macmini2,1 Macmini3,1 Macmini4,1 iMac5,1 iMac6,1 iMac7,1 iMac8,1 iMac9,1 iMac10,1 iMac11,1 iMac11,2 iMac11,3 iMac12,1 iMac12,2
- How do you know your Model Identifier? Open System Information, and look in the Hardware Overview section. i.e. click Apple menu -> About this Mac -> More Info… -> Report -> Hardware -> and now read down the Hardware Overview looking for “Model Identifier:”
- Having found your 041-XXXXX number, download the BootCampESD.pkg url that has your number in it. Again, here’s a list of them:
- http://swcdn.apple.com/content/downloads/55/51/041-3891/se4uhpqng48t842cdsosqh28lft54fmswl/BootCampESD.pkg
- http://swcdn.apple.com/content/downloads/32/15/041-4775/hgMfrNHd9W8W7d8n4JyqSFLksk5TYr2HXN/BootCampESD.pkg
- http://swcdn.apple.com/content/downloads/32/33/041-2303/W5jKtsQhhMgMXs3TKhPDqLXrpXyY2HdXMN/BootCampESD.pkg
- http://swcdn.apple.com/content/downloads/33/54/041-2011/pRtCDYcWShMLxFggy3TzFzmfnnWQNFQBfJ/BootCampESD.pkg
- http://swcdn.apple.com/content/downloads/53/34/041-4776/TpFRDjFyRJjSvtyj2vFsPyx2bH2NSYvwN9/BootCampESD.pkg
- http://swcdn.apple.com/content/downloads/11/05/041-0925/g27es04pw9re5ggrfp3vuf8ew6r53asfz8/BootCampESD.pkg
- Be patient as it’s probably 600MB.
- Once your pkg is downloaded, double click it and install to a folder on your hard drive so you know where to find it.
- The folder contains a nest of folders, the last of which contains a dmg disk image file. Double click to open. Voila. Here are your Windows installer files.
- Copy them to a USB drive, or a burnable CD. It’s still 660MB or more, so it’s a full CD worth of burning time.
- Done. You can now proceed with Boot Camp assistant Windows installation.
source: http://www.cafe-encounter.net/p824/bootcamp-drivers-direct-download-of-bootcampesd-pkg . The page was aimed at people struggling with BootCamp, but either way, it gets you to the BootCamp.pkg file, which contains the drivers.
You still need open the OS X installer pkg file to get the the contents out, and to open a DMG file. If you are already in Windows, 7-zip will open it: http://www.cafe-encounter.net/p860/opening-a-bootcamp-driver-download-on-windows-7-or-8-with-7-zip

I have written a tool that helps me deploy Boot Camp in an organization where we manage a dual-boot lab environment, and one of its features is that it can download the driver package for arbitrary models:
https://github.com/timsutton/brigadier
Either git clone or download an archive of the repo, then within the root of the repo (using an iMac15,1 here as an example):
./brigadier --model iMac15,1
The --model option can be omitted and it will download the latest version for the current model. In cases where multiple installers exist on Apple’s software update server, you specify an alternate package.
It runs on both OS X and Windows. For Windows I provide a compiled exe so that a Python installation isn’t required.

Try this: Apple DL1443: Boot Camp Software Update 3.3 for Windows. It’s called an update, but I suspect it doesn’t require any pre-existing installed drivers.
That said, it’s probably worth your while to keep a minimal OS X install, even if it’s just on a spare external drive (you could probably get away with a 16 GB USB drive even). It gives you a good recovery option if anything goes wrong, and it also gives you a way to get the occasional firmware updates, which you can’t install from Windows.

Either Chris F Carroll needs to update his answer, or mark mine as correct!
Answer: http://support.apple.com/downloads/#macoscomponents
P.S. Perhaps I’m a bit of a ‘paranoid ready-for-the-end-of-the-world’ type, but anyway you look at it (or me) — I wouldn’t recommend trusting third party downloads of drivers, unless you have the inside scoop on what goes into making them (which you don’t). Why?
They are not responsible to you for supporting issues that occur, and they COULD contain malicious code.

Found a quicker answer for myself… I figured out that only the URL to the pkg is HTTP. So I just start the download with Wireshark capture active, and use the «follow TCP stream» option to get the URL when I see an IP address show up lots of times during the download. Add host and URL together and you have your Mac’s specific URL.

This ‘Apple DL1443: Boot Camp Software Update 3.3 for Windows’ is definitely the required Update.
I have a 2010 Macbook Pro with Snow Leopard (10.6.8) installed and couldn’t get the right Boot Camp upgrade using any of the Apple download software from within the bootcamp Application.
After installing this Update/Upgrade suddenly all of the required drivers appeared in the Windows ‘Device manager’ and everything started working perfectly

Home » Инструкции » Скачивание и установка Boot Camp для Windows без ассистента Boot Camp.
Чтобы загрузить драйверы Boot Camp для Windows без ассистента Boot Camp, необходимо загрузить Brigadier, бесплатный инструмент, который загружает ESD-файлы драйверов с серверов Apple. После загрузки драйверов он извлекает файлы ESD с помощью программы 7-Zip. Если инструмент Brigadier не находит 7-Zip в Windows 10, он автоматически загружает его для извлечения файлов ESD.
Загрузите инструмент Brigadier с GitHub. Вы можете загрузить файл .zip или файл .exe. Если вы загрузили zip-файл, распакуйте его и запустите файл Brigadier.exe. Откройте окно командной строки, перейдите в папку где расположен Brigadier.exe и введите следующую команду: brigadier —model=MacPro7,1(модель MacPro7,1 использована в качестве примера, необходимо вводить mac-модель, что прописана в загрузчике), которая загрузит подходящие драйверы Boot Camp. Вы увидите список драйверов и статус загрузки. Файлы ESD будут загружены в ту же папку, где расположен Brigadier.exe.
Осталось перейти в скачанную папку и запустить Setup.exe, следовать шагам установщика.

I’m surprised this isn’t available through Apple Software Update. Also, when I downloaded this update and ran setup.exe as instructed, it offered to «Repair» my existing installation — no «Install» button, even though I’m upgrading the previous version. I don’t know how to find out whether the drivers on my system were updated or not.

to install this on a mac pro 2008 you just have to start the BootCamp.msi.
you can find it under:
BootCamp/Drivers/Apple/BootCamp.msi
you also need Administrator privileges to install.

This doesn’t support my perfect good 2009 MBP. I can’t get my Windows 8 Boot Camp partition to run without crashing. I have resorted to VMware which is not quite the same thing. Once again I am very disappointed with Apple’s forced obsolescence policy.

I’m disappointed that Apple has chosen not to support Windows 8 on my 2008 Mac Pro. I already have it installed and running fine (installed overtop of a previous XP Boot Camp partition), except for a problem where the wireless connection is very slow compared to Ethernet or OS X, but I’d rather have the additional features and functionality of the Boot Camp software. Trying to run the installer provided just gives an error dialog saying my machine isn’t supported. If anyone finds a way to force the installer to continue, please post it here. Also note that the old Boot Camp 4 drivers never worked in Win 8 for me. If I install them, I get a BSOD after restarting and need to roll the install back in order to log in.
