BootCamp made for Windows Vista would not install in WIndows 7

Hi,
I am trying to install Bootcamp drivers on Windows 7 with the Mac OS CD that came with my Intel-based iMac. The problem is that I bought my iMac when the latest Windows was Vista, and it would not install on Windows 7. The Bootcamp drivers for Windows 7 on Apple Support pages are "UPDATES" that require BootCamp 3.0 already installed in Windows. However, I cannot install BootCamp 3.0 in the first place, because it would be installed only on Vista. What should I do to have BootCamp installed on my Windows 7 so that I can set the default booting OS to be Mac OS again?

Just an idea for you. There is an entire Apple Discussion forum dedicated to Boot Camp and Windows.
Whereas, not everyone here with an Intel iMac has installed, tried to install or has experience with BC & Windows, everyone there has or at least has an interest. You may attract help more quickly there.
The Forums are at the bottom of the main Apple Discussions page under Windows Compatible Technology. Here is a link;

My pc on windows vista can not install driver for my Iphone 4s on 6.0.1

I can do everything in itunes but the windows driver can not be installed.

I too have experienced the Logitech s715i error message stating something like, the accessory is not a supported device of the iPhone. The speakers will charge my phone but will not "connect" to play music. I have an iPhone 4S running version 6.1 (10B142).
I too have contacted Logitech for support and am awaiting a reply.
Can we get some help over here?

Software and drivers for photosmart c309g will not install under windows 7

hi
im trying to reinstall the photosmart c309g all in one printer, after i fitted a new HD im now running windows 7 32 bit, i downloaded both the basic and advanced instillation files, they both extract then disappear.
i have tried to do a level3 uninstall, but that does not seen to work properly with the printer model or os.
i have also cleaned out the system 32 /local/spool files (but it would not let me do all of them)
ive also searched this forum for solutions.......what is going on
thanks

Hi @leslie60 ,
I see that you are having issues installing the printer. After extracting the downloaded drivers, they disappear. I will certainly do my best to help you.
Something is preventing the setup program from recognizing files from this download.
I will provide you with some steps for editing the registry to resolve this issue in a Private Message.
In the forum beside your handle name just click on the envelope to view it.
Before doing any of the steps, back up the registry first. Back up the registry.
Please let me know the results.
Have a nice day!
Thank You.

Windows Vista is not installing using MDT 2012 update 1

I have created a media using selection profile in MDT 2012 update 1, but it is not deploying my physical machine. I get error message that Windows Cannot copy files required for installation. Make Sure all files required for installations are available.
However i have successfully deployed Windows & and Windows XP with MDT 2012.
I also used different iso image of vista but still i get same error message.

Looks like you have a *NEW* issue that is unrelated to this thread. Generally I recommend that you open a new thread.

I see that you say there are *Problems* but you don't list which devices or drivers are missing.
From your Bdd.log file I can see that the following drivers are getting copied locally:

I tried to install Lightroom 6 on my Windows 7 System
The installer jejects the Installation with the remark that Windows Vista is not supported by this product
Is that Problem known? Is any solution available?

Hi Michael,
You can follow the article: How to troubleshoot issues that may prevent a program from being installed correctly on a Windows Vista-based computer and check whether the installer is running in Compatible Mode or not.
If the check box for Compatibility Mode is checked and simply UnCheck it and click Apply.
Run the installer and again and check if it still gives you any error message.
Let us know if it works or not.
Thanks,

MultiMedia Center for Think Offerings for Windows XP and 2000 -- will not install on Windows 7

MultiMedia Center for Think Offerings for Windows XP and 2000 -- will not install on Windows 7 in compatibility mode or any other way. I receive error " can not open \device\memory" and then " This program can not run on his hardware.
Thinkcenter E series 8291-ETU --- upgraded from XP to Windows 7 yesterday.
Any ideas on how to get this product installed in Windows 7 ?

I recently did a clean install of Win7 Ult on my X61 7676A24, and this is the only Lenovo software that I could not find a Win 7 solution for. However,
1. I was able to load WinDVD8 upgrade (from Lenovo's Win7 information page) after first loading the WinDVD5 version that was the last good release for Vista.
2. The Multimedia Center for Think Offerings is basically Roxio's suite for writing cd/dvd's, drag to disc and so on.
Since I could not load this anyway, I was forced to try out Win7's inbuilt cd/dvd writing - it works perfectly well. Even better, Win7 natively supports an excellent ISO burning tool. So, I think if you explore these inbuilt tools, you can probably live without the Mul Cent for Think Off.

OK, lets do a complete overhaul to make sure it's working ok.
First to check your Windows system file for any corruption:
Go to command prompt (START/ALL PROGRAMS/ACCESSORIES right mouse click "command prompt" and choose "Run as Administrator"
type in
sfc /scannow
let Windows fix any system files that need to be repaired.
Restart the computer.
Start iTunes and see if it is ok.
If it doesn't, will have to go through the whole process of uninstalling and installing acccording to the following steps:
1. Go to Microsoft website to fix install and Unistall problems. Click "Run now" from Fix it to remove all iTunes & related installer files:
http://support.microsoft.com/mats/Program_Install_and_Uninstall
Be aware that Windows Installer CleanUp Utility will not remove the actual program from your computer. However, it will remove the installation files so that you can start the installation, upgrade, or uninstall over.
2. You should remove all instances of iTunes and the rest of the components listed below:
it may be necessary to remove all traces of iTunes, QuickTime, and related software components from your computer before reinstalling iTunes.
Use the Control Panel to uninstall iTunes and related software components in the following order:
iTunes
QuickTime
Apple Software Update
Apple Mobile Device Support
Bonjour
Apple Application Support (iTunes 9 or later)
(Referenceinstructions from Apple article listed here: http://support.apple.com/kb/HT1923 to remove all components)
3. Reboot your computer. Next, download iTunes from here:http://www.apple.com/itunes/download/ and install from scratch

Just got iPhone 5, get home and find iCloud Outlook Add-in does not install under Windows XP. I am loathe to upgrade to Windows Vista/7/8 just yet. Can I obtain and use an earlier version of iCloud Outlook Add-in? My iPad II synchronizes!

There is no 'earlier' version that supports XP. iCloud launched with Vista/7 support only.

The current iTunes 10.5 upgrade does not install on Windows 7 and indicates a faulty install package (error 2324). Advice or details on the release date for a proper fix?

The current iTunes 10.5 upgrade does not install on Windows 7 and indicates a faulty install package (error 2324). Advice or details on the release date for a proper fix? I'm not able to roll back to the prior version, so I'm stuck in limbo.

There have been a number of problems with installing the latest iTunes on Windows 7 64-bit machines during the last couple of weeks. You might want to do a search on that topic and see if anyone has a solution. There have been various versions of the problem but a lot related to errors in the download package or failure to download.

Upgrade would not install (3.6.8) error message Licence file for this version could not be found

The latest upgrade 3.6.8 downloaded but would not install. Error message read "the licence file for this version could not be found.". Visit Firefox homepage for more info
== I tried to install the latest Firefox upgrade. Have tried about 6 times

It can also help if you delete the Firefox program folder (C:\Program Files\Mozilla Firefox) before installing a new full Firefox copy.
See http://kb.mozillazine.org/Standard_diagnostic_-_Firefox#Clean_reinstall
It is important to delete the Firefox program folder to remove all the files and make sure that there are no problems with files that are locked in any way.
You can skip the step to create a new profile, that is not necessary for this issue.
