Bootcamp Issues when attempting to install Windows 7

Please excuse my ignorance.... new to Apple after using Windows for ever.
I am attempting to install Windows 7 on my new MacBook Pro 13" purchased 4 days ago. I follow the instructions from following tutorials on UTube however do not get the option to divide my OS into a mac portion and a windows portion.
I have got the original Windows 7 disc have also created an ISO version, and have formatted a USB to be MS-DOS Fat. Still no luck
On the tutorials, it states to open up Bootcamp, then divide the partitians for Windows / Mac, then load up your Windows 7 disc.
This does not happen on my bootcamp.
Im asked to create an ISO of Windows 7, which I have done
Then asked to download the latest Windows support software for Apple - which starts - but never ends
Then when attempting the third section, installing Windows 7 I get an error message stating please install the installation disc and wait a few seconds
I am using the Bootcamp that was included with my purchase of the MacBook Pro. Should I search for another one - although I appear to be up to date with applications.
I am doing this in order to use CorelDRAW via windows on my mac for my small business. Any help would be most appreciated, and please no smart comments as i am really struggling here and everything appears to be simple, but is not.
Thanks in Advance

I tried both the web installer and the ISO image file (the x64 version), with the same result, except that the ISO file omits the downloading step in the log file.
Note:
I have one version of the Microsoft Visual C++ 2005 Redistributable (x64) installed, and one version of the Microsoft Visual C++ 2008 Redistributable (x64) installed. No 2010 (or later) version — see http://blogs.msdn.com/b/vsnetsetup/archive/2012/03/14/unable-to-install-microsoft-windows-sdk-for-windows-7-and-net-framework-4.aspx.
I then noticed it is required to have Microsoft .NET Framework installed, so I installed version 4.5.2.
This did not affect the results. I got the same error message, and the same logged events.
Clean boot did not resolve this. Repairing the .NET Framework installation did not resolve this.
Thanks for any guidance,

You need to know what you have already.
Open Disk Utility, go to the First Aid tab, take a screenshot of the lefthand sidebar.
I won't advise on partitioning until I know what is there. (The BCA page where you create the partition will not show whether there is another, it will just fail if there is)

Welcome to Apple Support Communities
You can install a 64-bit Windows 7 or Vista version in your Mac. Make sure you downloaded these drivers > http://support.apple.com/kb/DL1630 Also, if you have the Snow Leopard DVD you used to upgrade your Mac or the OS X DVD that came with your Mac, you can use it to install the Boot Camp drivers

HT5639 I am attempting to install windows 7 ultimate on a mid2012 production macbook pro using Bootcamp 5 in Mountain Lion. Whenever I set the partition size and tell it to continue, the program quits unexpectedly. I have done this about 5 times now. Sugg

The lead-in above pretty much states the problem. I am attempting to install Windows 7 from a disk, but that is not the issue. Boot Camp 5 just quits and reopens. I then repeat. Help.

I am about to run specialized GIS software that may or may not need the full machine resources. I am an attorney who uses QuickBooks for my accounting. The Mac version does not do as much as the Windows version. This is from both Apple and Quick Books professionals. I am using Parallels Desktop version 8 at this time. It does not support QuickBooks Windows version per Parallels. Any other questions? I am a highly competent PC user who is new to Macs. I am entitled to my own configuration choices. That said, I know when I need help which is now.
As to the free space issue I have 665.18 GB free space out of 749.3 GB on the drive. I am not trying to run the 32 bit version. I know that it requires the 64 bit version. Besides, it does not get that far in the process. As I said Boot Camp asssitant terminates unexpectedly as soon as you hit the continue button after setting the partition size. Therefore I conclude that it does not have a chance to see which version of Windows that I am using. I am using Windows 7 Ultimate 64 bit version in the virtual engine (to use Parallels speak), but again Boot Camp would not see that since it is not running. It can't run at the momenet because Apple just installed a new hard drive and I have just restored the data from TIme Machine and Parallels needs reactivated, which I have not done yet deliberatley. With all of this addtiional information do you have any further suggestions? Thanks for your time and interest my issue.

"Installer failed to initialize" when attempting to install Lookout 5.0 in Windows 7 Windows XP Mode

I have a new, clean, Windows 7 Professional tower (has newest Windows updates). When attempting to install Lookout 5.0 in the Windows XP Mode I get an error window indicating "the installer has failed to initialize". The only option is to click OK and the installation stops.
Any ideas what I'm missing?

Is anyone running Lookout 5.0 with a Windows 7 machine in Windows XP Mode? Any installation problems? Any running problems?

Network Connection error when Trying to Install Windows Server 2012 R2 Essentials

Thank you to anyone who can help me out here. I have a brand new machine with known working wifi and wired ethernet adapters (works under Windows 8.1) I am attempting to install Windows Server 2012 Essentials R2. During the install process, the system connects
to the internet to download updates to help along the install. No problem here. Further down the road after restarting several times and now during the "Configuring Windows Server Essentials" step of the install, I am told "There is no network
connection. Please fix the connection issue and try again."
When troubleshooting the connection, I am told that the wifi adapter drivers may not be installed. I have a wireless card in the machine and have also tried disabling the wifi adapter and have been connected successfully via the ethernet port this whole
time.
Help, I'm stuck and have been to this point in the install 4-5 times already.
Thank you.

Is this a laptop? Can you remove the wifi? Disable it in BIOS?
Does the wifi have an IP and internet when it throws the error?
BTW, when the wizard ask about updates say no. Takes way too long and does not help anything
Change the binding order and put the wired on top.
The Steps?
Just open your Network and Sharing Center. (Change adapter settings)
Press an ALTkey on your keyboard to show the menu bar.
Click on the Advancedmenu
choose Advanced Settings option
Adjust your binding order for your NICs to ensure your wired ones are at the TOP

Errors "A media driver your computer needs is missing." or "Windows cannot install required files" upon attempting to install Windows 10 TP build 10041 64-bit

I'm attempting to install Windows 10 TP build 10041 [64-bit]
I am currently being prevented from installing by a "A media driver your computer needs is missing." error, which occurs fairly early in the process. I've interpreted further text in the message as a suggestion that it's a DVD, USB or some other
similar driver issue. However, as I've been able to attempt each install through booting from DVD and USB, I'm not convinced this is the issue.
I'm currently installing to a 128Gb SSD drive. I have installed Windows 10 TP on my laptop's SSD with no issues.
On a few occasions the installation has continue with the installation, and then failed at about 6% with the following error:
"Windows cannot install required files. Make sure all files required for installation are available, and restart the installation. Error code 0x8007045D". I have not removed the installation USB or DVD.
I did not have this issue when installing build 9841, so am currently assuming this is an issue with build 10041.
Apologies if this query has been posed before, a search did not show up this issue.
Any advice would be greatly appreciated.

Hi Michael,
Thanks for trying to assist!
I attempted removing/deleting partitions and formatting the SSD as part of the install process. I have also tried installing via USB and DVD with the same issues.
As part of the troubleshooting, I attempted to install a different OS. I was able to successfully install Linux Mint 17.1 with no issues. This further solidifies my impression this is an issue with Windows.
I will try a different USB port, appreciate the suggestion, didn't think it would make a different given the various methods already attempted.

When attempting to install downloaded update 5.6 for Lightroom: Error applying transforms.

When attempting to install downloaded update 5.6 for Lightroom I am having a Windows Installer error message: Error applying transforms. Verify that the specified transform paths are valid. I completely reinstalled the program and still got the same error when attempting to update. Creative Cloud lists the Lightroom 5.3 as "Up to Date". Please advise.
Also curious as to when the video issues will be updated: Every time I even attempt to import new pictures from a folder that has video footage Lightroom crashes. I have asked about this in the past and gotten no reply. I am rather disappointed in Adobe's customer support (or lack thereof).

Attempted to install Windows XP Home Edition

I partitioned my macbook pro and attempted to install Windows XP
It went well up until the 57% complete mark when the windows couldn't copy rpcrt4.dll and shell32.dll. When asked if I wanted Windows to retry to copy I hit yes and the same error occurred. I then skipped through to continue installation. When I tried to startup in Windows got a blue-screen asking me to reinstall rpcrt4.dll
I realize this was posted before, but I'm having this exact same problem and tried the solution and it didn't work in my case.
This is my very first post and I'm hoping someone can help.

XP SP3?
That version CD comes in multiple flavors.
EDU editions of Windows 7 Pro ISO electronic downloads that have to be burned, if done with Apple DU, will not work unless burn speed is reduced 2x.
Of course software from torrents are just not a good idea ever.
And XP SP2 is not on Microsoft's supported list as far as updates go, SP3 of course still is (has been out almost 3 yrs now too) with the transition to 64-bit and Windows 7 (or waiting for 8 to arrive?)
