10.5. Can't find Boot Camp Assistant app

Can't find the Boot Camp Assistant.app on your freshly installed OS X 10.5? No one's going to believe you? - It's part of the system they'll say..? Well, it's just happened to us on 3 brand new MacBooks.

Luckily there is an easy solution to install Boot Camp separately:
Insert the OS X Leopard installer DVD, in Finder press command + shift + g (Picture 4-1) and enter the following path:
/Volumes/Mac OS X Install DVD/System/Installation/Packages/
for the Leopard retail CD or /Volumes/Mac OS X Install Disc 1/System/Installation/Packages for Disc 1 that came with a new Mac.

Then double-click the BootCamp.pkg - this package is the Boot Camp installer.

go to folder screenshot

path to hidden system folder on os x install dvd

Kein Boot Camp installiert? - Boot Camp lässt sich in OS X Leopard von der System DVD einfach nach installieren:
Aus dem Finder geben sie folgendens Tastenkürzel ein: command shift G (umschalttaste + befehlstaste + g)
/Volumes/Mac OS X Install DVD/System/Installation/Packages/ für die Leopard DVD oder /Volumes/Mac OS X Install Disc 1/System/Installation/Packages für Disk 1 die mit einem neuen Mac mitgeliefert wurde.
Dann doppelklick auf BootCamp.pkg

whats the path if you only have the upgrade version of Leoperd? I have a new Imac 20inch which came preloaded with Tiger and I upgraded to Leoperd?

What DVD did you use to upgrade?

If you have the official disc with the X on the space background printed on it, it should be this path:
/Volumes/Mac OS X Install DVD/System/Installation/Packages/

But remember to have the DVD in the computer before you enter the path. OK?
