    i want to get my macbook pro isight working with windows xp and the latest parallels.

    i found 3 solutions to get install the isight drivers on xp.

    1) getting drivers from the previous beta boot camp images and save them as apple drivers on the xp hard disc.

    1) getting driver from the leopard 10.5 dvd. (the apple drivers are in a separate folder as "appleisightinstaller.exe")

    3) installing bootcamp 2.0 from the leopard 10.5 dvd.

    option 1 is not available anymore as apple took the boot camp beta from their site.
    option 2 simply doesn't work as the appleisightinstaller.exe (if unrarred) can not being installed.
    my frustration is that the only way to get the isight working is option 3. but unfortunately that is about a 400 mb install (boot camp 2.0 complete) for just 2 mb isight drivers.

    is my conclusion correct ?

    Hello Mhoutman,

    Did you have a look at this article? You can install the drivers manually.

    Best regards,
