Version 6 of Boot Camp Support Software isn't yet available on https://support.apple.com/downloads/, and I ran out of patience with Boot Camp Assistant (many attempts at modifying /Applications/Utilities/Boot Camp Assistant.app/Contents/Info.plist). Here's what worked for me:
Is there a better method?
- In OS X, use the Brigadier Python script (https://github.com/timsutton/brigadier) to download Boot Camp Windows Support Software directly, bypassing Boot Camp Assistant. This was my terminal command “/Users/user/Downloads/brigadier-0.2.2/brigadier -m iMac15,1”. The result was a 1.63GB file “/Users/user/BootCamp-031-24514/WindowsSupport.dmg” containing Boot Camp 6 drivers.
- Mount the dmg. In order to get the keyboard working I just needed AppleKeyboardInstaller64.exe and BootCamp.msi from BootCamp/Drivers/Apple. Unless you want to install a whole load of other drivers, copy just these two files to a folder on a drive that will be available in Windows.
- In Windows, create a restore point (optional)
- Run BootCamp.msi from an elevated command prompt (right-click and "Run as administrator"). Reboot when the install finishes.
- Enjoy the volume controls!
