Download Boot Camp Update (AppleBcUpdate.exe) manually

Last updated at Posted at 2022-03-19

I still love bootcamp.png
This page explains how to re-download AppleBcUpdate.exe for your intel mac manually.

0. (my) Environment

   Mac Book Pro 2019
   Windows 11(or 10), where Boot camp is already installed.
   (Log maybe different depends on environment. BTW, I use Apple Software Update 2.6.3.0 when I wrote this.)

1. launch Apple Software Update

  (1) Launch "Apple Software Update" from windows start menu.
  (2) Help > "Enable logging".
         1_EnableDebug.png
  (3) File > "Check for Updates...".
         2_CheckForUpdates.png
        This action generates Boot Camp update log which you will check from now on.

  (4) Tools > "Open Downloaded Updates Folder..".
         3_openDownloadFolder.png

  (5) Close Apple Software Update.

2. on Explorer

  (1) go to "Logs" folder under the "Downloaded Updates" folder.
      (usually C:\Users\YourName\AppData\Local\Apple\Apple Software Update\Logs.)
         WASU_Log_onExplorer.png
  (2) open WASU_2872_2022-03-19_10-55-20-0164.log by text editor.
       (File name depends on the date/time when you check updates.)

3. Find Update Key(ID) from WASU_2872_2022-03-19_10-55-20-0164.log

  I would like to have 6.1.15 update, Precision Touchpad driver, for MBP2019.
  The followings are the potion where I now focus on.
