Apple Wired Keyboard in Windows

[titsmgee]

Has anybody got the apple wired keyboard to fully work in with a dual booting system. I cannot seem to the the function keys to work with windows. Ive come across some OK solutions (ones set up for ancient apple keyboards that have a print screen at F2) but nothing with the functionality of boot camp. I am using the same keyboard drivers on my bootcamp as I am on my gigabyte yet one works and the other does not.

I don't believe you read my post correctly or maybe i was not clear, probably the latter. These functions do not work the BIOS. I'm talking about the brightness control, iTunes control, and volume control in windows using those keys.

i also searched for a keyboard driver and found this guide: http://imsatasia.com/2012/03/12/download-bootcamp-4-drivers-for-windows-8-consumer-preview/#more-465

• Download Bootcamp 4.0 Drivers, here’s a link on some Apple CDN for the .pkg file containing the drivers:
  http://swcdn.apple.com/content/downloads/54/00/041-0694/sq2RLp7XVNQzRG8qdpsq9sj4 pHsgXkgPYg/BootCampESD.pkg
• Open this file with 7Zip in Windows:
  http://www.7-zip.org/download.html
• Open “BootCampESD.pkg” in 7Zip then navigate and extract:
  “BootCampESD.pkg\Payload\Payload~\.\Library\Application Support\BootCamp\WindowsSupport.dmg\0.Apple_ISO”
• Rename the file from 0.Apple_ISO to BootCamp4.iso
• Extract the iso (“BootCamp4.iso”) with 7Zip to a folder.
• From the Windows start menu, search for “cmd”, and right-click to run as administrator.
  Navigate to the extracted folder, for example:
  C:
  cd “WindowsSupport\Drivers\Apple”
• From the prompt in that folder, run “msiexec /i BootCamp64.msi”

So these are the new Boot Camp 4.0 drives. works fine with Win7 x64

This method does not work now. Any other option?

ditto this problem and desire for solution!

I pulled down the BC 5 drivers (using real mac, clicking the checkbox to download the drivers), dove down into the Apple folder, used the x64 drivers

- keyboard installer
- that msi file fails to really installed -- I belive this contains the service for the volume hotkeys


No worky
need solution
