Download Boot Camp Update (AppleBcUpdate.exe) manually #Mac

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".

  (3) File > "Check for Updates...".

        This action generates Boot Camp update log which you will check from now on.

(4) Tools > "Open Downloaded Updates Folder..".

(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.)

  (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.
