Installing Bootcamp 5.1 on Windows 8.1 While trying to run Bootcamp 5.1 on Windows 8.1 (which is claimed to be supported here: http://support.apple.com/kb/DL1720), I am getting the error message "Boot Camp requires that your computer is running Windows 7".

Is there something I am doing wrong?  How do get the proper drivers installed on my Boot Camp install of Windows 8.1 on my Mid-2011 Macbook Air?
I just faced the same problem.. and this might be the solution. 

I use MacBook Pro late 2011 and installed Windows 8.1.

ensure you download the Windows support software from Apple Bootcamp.
you will get Windows support folder in the USB. 
restart to Windows

right click on your setup.exe

check the box of Run this program in compability mode for (and change the list to Windows 8)

right click again on setup.exe
run as administrator
and click. run the program without getting help.

and voila... everything works.
