Apple Releases Boot Camp Update 3.1 with Support for Windows 7
This update adds support for Microsoft Windows 7 (Home Premium, Professional, and Ultimate), addresses issues with the Apple trackpad, turns off the red digital audio port LED on laptop computers when it is not being used, and supports the Apple wireless keyboard and Apple Magic mouse.
Boot Camp 3.1 (in 64-bit and 32-bit versions) requires an authentic copy of Microsoft Windows 7 or Microsoft Windows 7 upgrade, as well as an Intel-based Mac computer. In a support document about Boot Camp and Windows 7 last updated on January 6, Apple also noted that the following computers would not be supported for use with Windows 7 in Boot Camp:
iMac (17-inch, Early 2006)
iMac (17-inch, Late 2006)
iMac (20-inch, Early 2006)
iMac (20-inch, Late 2006)
MacBook Pro (15-inch, Early 2006)
MacBook Pro (17-inch, Late 2006)
MacBook Pro (15-inch, Late 2006)
MacBook Pro (17-inch, Early 2006)
Mac Pro (Mid 2006, Intel Xeon Dual-core 2.66GHz or 3GHz)
In addition to Boot Camp 3.1, Apple has also released Boot Camp Utility for Windows 7 Upgrade, which is needed before upgrading from Vista to Windows 7 and "safely unmounts the read-only Macintosh volume on Microsoft Vista."

Follow the instructions.
Seems to be working fine, though I got uninstall errors for the nvidia display driver at the start then after the reboot because I've recently installed the newer 195.62 directly from nvidia. Everything fine so far...
A mod stole my first post? :D

Both posts were merged. My post was about how to install Windows 7 on the new iMacs.
Your post is about new drivers for AFTER you have installed Windows 7 64-bit.

In any case here are better instructions for installing Windows 7 on a late 2009 iMac.

I'm only seeing newer ATI, display, and Bluetooth drivers here. I can see why they'd want to prevent the Windows 7 installer black screen but no love for a clean installation?
This is before slipstreaming the drivers into the Windows 7 installer. Otherwise it's move along if you don't have a Late 2009 iMac.
Talk about pain in the ass. Do they expect you to only upgrade from Vista to 7?

I've just unpacked my download via winrar and there's only the nvidia and bootcamp services update inside. Unfortunately I don't have many heat issues or rubbish sound drivers since I upgraded my 15 to a 17 so someone else will have to check the fan control and audio are still below par. No ahci support either no doubt..
