A Python CLI tool that fetches Apple's Boot Camp ESD driver packages for a specific Mac model and unpacks the nested archives, optionally running the 64-bit MSI installer on Windows. It was designed for automating Boot Camp driver deployment in Windows imaging workflows.

Use cases

  • download boot camp drivers for a specific mac model
  • extract boot camp esd installer package
  • install boot camp drivers automatically on windows
  • get windows support drivers without boot camp assistant
  • script boot camp driver deployment during imaging
  • unpack apple flat package archives

When to choose

  • you need to automate Boot Camp driver downloads for specific Mac models
  • you're building Windows system images for Macs and need the right driver package
  • you want to extract Boot Camp installers without running Boot Camp Assistant on macOS

When to avoid

  • you need fully reliable installation of the latest Boot Camp 6 drivers, since setup.exe behavior isn't fully replicated
  • you're on a Mac and just want the standard Boot Camp Assistant workflow
  • you need offline operation without network connectivity
