Can't update boot camp drivers in Leopard

[lockdown571]

So apparently you should be able to update the boot camp drivers by putting the Leopard disk in while booted into windows. This doesn't seem to do anything, though. I've tried searching the disk too. Am I missing something?

Open up the setup.exe file.

I can't find any setup.exe file on the disk. When I put the disk in, it asks if I want to view the pictures on the disk but nothing else. Maybe I got a bad disk?

Have you tried looking at the contents using Windows Explorer?

Yep, I just searched for .exe files with explorer and found nothing.

Either your disk or your drive is borked.

I wonder if Leopard disc means OS X Leopard Installer DVD or the burned driver disc made using Boot Camp 2.0 in Mac OS X Leopard.

With 2.0 you don't burn the driver disk anymore. You pop the Leopard disk in Windows and the autorun starts the driver setup.

I thought so.

Aha, I found the answer. I use the program called macdrive 7 to read and write to my HFS+ partitions and there's an option to allow you to either view mac files or windows files off your dvd drive. It was set to 'view mac files,' so that's why I wasn't seeing the .exe. Thanks anyways for the help.
