Can I upgrade Apples Boot Camp from version 4.1 to 5.1?

I have an iMac that is setup to dual boot Windows 7 with Boot Camp 4.1.

Can I download the latest version of Boot Camp 5.1 and simply install it on the windows 7 or do I also need to to an update of Boot Camp on the Mac OS?

I have been to both of those links. There is no "Apple Software Update" program to run on Windows, it is a downloaded zip file that contains a setup.exe file and the drivers that needs to be run on the Windows install. Which is fine.

I guess I was trying to answer the question if it was necessary to update anything on the OSX side before updating the Windows side. But, I finally came to the conclusion that the 2 OS's do not interact since it is a dual boot environment (as opposed to Fusion, Windows on top of OSX) so the only drivers that need updated are the Windows drivers.

Thanks for your input.
