Installing Boot Camp 2.1 on Vista (BCUpdateVista32.exe)
It took forever, but I’ve finally managed to do it. The installer would start up saying “preparing to install” or the like, then disappear and nothing ever happened. Finally a thread on macrumors tipped me off that it was a localization issue. I have Japanese Vista Ultimate running with an english language pack. Switching everything to Japanese and then rebooting solved the problem. Note that Vista tells you to log off, but you actually need to reboot. What is it with Windows and rebooting?!
