Again, I would expect the Device Manager to look as it does in the previous link. The Device Manager still shows the default drivers for devices such as the keyboard. Based on this link which describes a typical Boot Camp install in Windows, I would expect the Control Panel to have tabs such as Keyboard, Trackpad, etc. The Boot Camp Control Panel has only one tab, "Startup Disk". However, I've noticed a number of things that suggests the drivers didn't install properly. The install seems to have partly worked - for example, the LED keyboard was dark before and now it is lit up, and a taskbar notification icon was added that says "ENG" and indicates I'm using an Apple keyboard.
This launched the Boot Camp install process, which appeared to install the Boot Camp drivers with no problems. As described here, I opened an elevated command prompt and navigated to the BootCamp\Drivers\Apple folder and ran "msiexec /i BootCamp.msi". From my research, this often happens when trying to install Boot Camp in Windows. Boot Camp 圆4 is unsupported on this computer model". I was not able to run Boot Camp setup directly. I downloaded Boot Camp Support Software and extracted the contents. I don't need Boot Camp to help me boot, I just need the drivers to get things like the keyboard, trackpad, and wifi adapter functioning properly. However, I can't seem to get the Boot Camp drivers to install properly. I'm not having any problems in booting Windows 8 or using it.
I have a MacBook Air 2013 that does not have MacOS installed, but is booting Windows 8 Pro 64-bit (clean install, not upgraded from Windows 7) in a vhdx file via EFI.
