Ah, no idea, donât have access to BootCamp on this machine.

I moved the unpacked file to /usr/bin/XWin; that is correct, yes?

Can you verify that is also working as expected?
Yes it is. Though it first took me a while to realise that something had reset my keyboard settings to EN, which made everything behave strangely, but once I set that back to SV, everything worked as expected.
