Failed to install Windows 7/8/8.1 on Retina pro Late2013

As the title mentioned , I cannot install those version of windows on the newest retina pro
I can access the installation stage, and seems like everything is ok, but after windows copied all the files, one new window came out and showed: Windows could not update the computer's boot configuration. Installation cannot proceed. and the installation end here.
everyone got the same issue here ?

I'm having the same issue.
Late 2013 Macbook Pro/Haswell/15in/2.6Ghz/16GB RAM/1TB SSD/Mavericks.
Tried to install Windows 8 and Windows 8.1 with original full version (non-upgrade) ISOs from Microsoft MSDN via Bootcamp Assistant & USB.
Install always dies at the very end with "Windows could not update the computer's boot configuration. Installation cannot proceed".
Called Apple Care, who had me reset the entire computer via Internet Recovery, change Partition 1 from GPT to MBR, then back to GPT, recover, and try again. Still the same error.

Server 2012 (not R2) RODC fails to install Windows Updates

Good morning all
Since around October, our 80-odd 2012 (non-R2) RODCs have been failing to install windows updates, rolling them back on reboot. Patches that don't require a reboot are fine. The short version is, please log a call with MS and reference this thread, if you're
having this issue as currently they're saying they won't fix this!!
Our product support group opened an official case and reported this with Microsoft and they've found the cause. PLEASE NOTE however, that this relates to RODC and ALL patches failing, not just 3000061 on non-RODC.
There was some chat relevant to this as originally it was thought KB3000061 was to blame, and a few other people had had the same issue there (see links at the bottom). I think however, that this issue now stands alone as any patch we try to install will
fail.

Cause:
The installer uses SAM API calls to manage the group. It always connects to the local SAM instance. The component also handles an uninstall task in the same function. On uninstall the group is being deleted.
So the SAM handle is requested with "Create Group" and "Delete" access.
The error happens because a RODC does not allow any changes and thus returns STATUS_NOT_SUPPORTED.
More information about the prevent from accidental deletion feature please refer :

http://technet.microsoft.com/en-us/library/cc739350(v=WS.10).aspx
Recommendation:
This is a Bug in the RODC running on server 2012, However you may do an in place upgrade to Server 2012 R2 and then proceed with the installation of the patch.
The bad news is this is fixed in 2012 R2 with a hotfix - but it isn't fixed in 2012 and it won't be because.. they've only had one official report logged. And that was by us. So, if you want this fixed, you need to start logging this with MS now.
What I can say just now is that this isn't related to the registry fixes with WinEVT we've all been trying, it's NOT limited to 2008 that has been upgraded in place to 2012 (our product support group replicated it in the lab with a brand new 2012 promoted
to RODC) and it IS only happening with RODC. Possible fix might be to make your RODC RW for a bit and install your patches then.

The error indicates that IIS is returning a "404 not found" error back to the Windows Update Agent. That might mean that you need to specify the correct port that WSUS is listening on, e.g.:
WSUSServer=http://yourserver:8530

Welcome to Apple Support Communities
Although you managed to "hack" Boot Camp Assistant and you can create a Windows USB installer, you will not be able to boot from the USB drive and you will get a nice "No bootable device" screen after restarting your Mac.
Apple has set up Boot Camp Assistant in order to show the option to create a USB installer only in Macs which support it. In the case of the MacBook Pro, only MacBooks Pro with Retina display support that option, so you are out of luck. You need Windows on a DVD.

Warning: Don't install Windows 7 64-bit on Older MacBook Pros

I totally hosed my machine by installing Windows 7 64 bit on a MacBook Pro that Apple has not deemed to be okay with running Snow Leopard in 64-bit. I have a Core 2 Due, which is fully 64-bit. Windows 7 64-bit runs perfectly on a MacBook Pro, but Apple's Snow Leopard can only handle 32-bits. Crazy.
I'm guessing Windows 7 updated the MacBook Pro's EFI to 64 bit, which since my Firmware hasn't been updated, can't recognize or load. Some I'm stuck.
Does anyone know how to return a 64 bit efi back to its original 32 bit version? I've been forced to reinstall Snow Leopard, hopefully the Disk Image I created will be able to bring back my data, otherwise I'm screwed and really ******.

I don't think Windows 7 would normally modify your Guid Partition Table, but Boot Camp
(particularly the later versions) is rapidly gaining a nasty reputation for hosing partition maps.
Test Disk might could help:
http://www.cgsecurity.org/wiki/TestDisk
You will need to boot it in firewire mode (if supported) or from an external clone.
I hope your disk image is good. Rule of thumb for OS Disk Images:
Make them sparseimage or sparsebundle, do not compress, and last but not least;
Make 2 of them. Just some friendly advice.
I have yet to see anyone repair a defective, compressed, UDIF disk image. I have
successfully repaired sparse UDSP/UDSB images using either disk utility and/or Disk Warrior
and/or iPartition or some combination of the three.
I'm not against disk images, to the contrary, I use them almost exclusively for backup lately.
I mount them, then place a clone or data on them using Carbon Copy Cloner or Chronosync.
Of course I only use UDSP/UDSB uncompressed images.

if your computer does not support the operating system you wish to install in bootcamp then you have to use a virtual machine like virtual box to install the operating system you wish to install

Not using Boot Camp, but you should be able to using virtualization software such as Parallels to run Windows concurrently with OS X.

I want to install Windows 7 on my band new Macbook Pro 13 inch and use Parallel Desktop 6 torun it alongside my Mac OS. Do I need to buy a specific Mac version of Windows 7 or do I install a standard Windows 7 OS on the Mac using boot camp.

As vazandrew said, Boot Camp will work with any standard copy of Win 7.
The only exception would be if you want to run it in a virtual environment, such as with Parallels or WMware.
I personally recommend Boot Camp, however, since it only uses the resources for one OS at a time.

Failing to install windows 8.1/7/ any kind of windows on my imac,seeking help foreal

Hey there. It's going to be a long post since I've messed with it for 4 days, and still no success even in the time I'm currently writing this message - the furthest I got is having tons of crashes and black screens. And now I can't even reclaim my lost harddrive space (resizing partitions doesn't work anymore).
I'll start with that I already tried to make Bootcamp work about a year ago, but then quit it out of no success and reverted all the changes. But this time my situation is different - I'm pretty sure something messed up in the middle and now I'm seeking help and answers to my questions. And here we go - one bright day I decided to install Windows 8.1 as a secondary boot system on my iMac for personal reasons. I went and added Bootcamp's ability to make a bootable USB on my mac by changing the plist file, and finally had the option to do so. Then got an ISO of Windows 8.1's installation, burned it to a DVD with disk utility (on the lowest speed) and here's already where my problems started. The disk failed to burn for some unknown reason, even though when I compared the contents it had the exactly same thing in both the ISO and the DVD. Weird isn't it? I still tried to boot it - and guess what? the DVD booted but it had the non-EFI interface (huge and pixelated). Anyway when I pressed next I had some weird driver errors, so I decided to use an USB instead (1 DVD wasted so far). I used Bootcamp to create a bootable USB with drivers and went to boot it. The USB booted perfectly fine under the name "EFI Boot" and then I reached the partitions screen.. Obviously I had weird errors again (GPT/MBR stuff). One tutorial on the web suggested creating a partition for the windows rather than using the Bootcamp pre-made one. I followed it by booting my main system, and using disk utility to delete the Bootcamp partition. Later on I booted again to the installation and created a new partition from the partitions screen. Windows created two partitions - a Microsoft reserved partition, and the secondary partition which is used for the windows files. After some time the windows finally booted for the first time. It took pretty long but went smooth - until it finally booted. Since here the problems returned - the Windows crashed every 5 minutes from a driver error (that's AFTER I installed the Apple drivers right after the system finished booting), I googled it and followed various tuts but it still wasn't fixed. I decided to quit using 8 since I liked 7 more anyway (I currently have it installed as a virtual system in Parallels), so I decided to install 7 instead of 8 since I never had any issues with it. Booted up my main system again - went to Bootcamp Assistant, USB creation. ISO file + drivers on the USB. I reboot. Holding ALT and... my mac can't even see the USB drive! Luckily I had 4 more installations (various ISOs) of Win 7, so I decided to try them. I tried ALL the Installations I in none of them my mac could see the USB drive (I wonder how my USB survived all this rewriting on it...) Again to Google we go. I researched a bit and realized that I'm missing a file called xboot64.efi in the "efi/boot" folder, which can be taken from windows. I tried extracting it from install.wim but none of my archiving apps could open it (I tried Unarchiver, Keka, 7zX, terminal's unrar command and more, none could!). I also realized my Win 8 installation had this file so I added it to the Win 7 USB. Now my mac could see the USB in the boot screen - and it booted. I saw the "loading files" screen, and after one minute of it... black screen. I waited 10 minutes. Then 30. An hour. Still a pure black screen. I thought something is wrong with my file, and read that this file is also found in an already installed Win 7, so I went to parallels and took it from here, then added it to my installation. Again my mac could see the USB, but still no luck. When I pressed enter to boot from it, nothing happened as if the boot screen was stuck - the drive was selected but it didn't do anything. I waited long time again and decided to stop waiting. I tried to burn another DVD, this time with Titanium Toast. Again the DVD failed to burn, and when I checked the content, it was the same as the ISO I tried to burn from (official ISO from Microsoft of Windows 7 Ultimate SP1). I went and booted it - this time I saw again "Windows" and "EFI Boot"in the boot screen, both with a disc icon. "EFI Boot" didn't load like the usb previously (loads forever), so I booted the "Windows" thing. The setup loaded, and finally I could see the installation window. Reached the partitions screen... and here the problems returned once again. An error along the lines of that Windows can't be installed on a GPT partition. Some tuts on YouTube and in Google suggested to simply format the problematic partition. And so I did - yet the problem wasn't fixed. After messing with all that for one more day - trying different installations, ways to boot the USB and DVDs, formatting the Windows partition etc, I decided it's time to stop messing with it since luck definitely isn't in my side when it comes to Bootcamp (and for the record, I never had any issues with OSX, but when I tried adding windows to it.. eh, you can guess.) I booted back to my normal system, and went to disk utility to delete the partitions. The Windows partition was deleted easily, but the Microsoft reserved one.. not so quite. (by the way when I boot into it I get a Win 8.1 error screen that tells me to repair the system, since I formatted the Win partition itself). Until this very moment I still can't delete the reserved partition and return my beloved 30gb that I lost because of the resizing (I can't resize my Mac HD partition).
I'm really desperate now. I tried everything and the furthest I got is getting a broken Windows 8.1 (which I deleted later), destroying 5 DVDs, shortening the lifespan of my USB drive, and googling errors the whole day for 4 days in a row. And now I can't even return my lost 30gb even after I decided to quit it. Please help or suggest me what to do, whether it's about how to successfully install Win 7 or to return my lost gigabytes, any kind of help is appreciated. If you managed to read so far, thank you for reading my post and I hope you'll be able to assist me and get me out of this situation.

Read the Boot Camp Help first. Boot Camp does not yet support Windows 8.1 http://windows.microsoft.com/en-US/windows-8/system-requirements. If you insist on installing 8.1 use a virtual machine like parallels, Fusion, or VirtualBox.

BOOTCAMP fails to install Windows XP SP2

I ran the assistant, partitioned ok, but running the Windows XP disk that used to work with the public beta versions of bootcamp fails to install after rebooting: [in windows style] "disk error...press any key to restart" All I can do is shut down the mac and reboot in Mac OS.
Anyone?

Not to sound stuffy - but you would do better posting this in the BootCamp forum.
It's not an unusual problem and others have posted ways to fix it.

Every PATCH installation fails after installing Windows Updates

Hello,
I want to report an issue which I think is a Windows bug introduced by one of the Windows updates (unfortunately I wasn't able to find out which one of them).
Here is the test case:
1. install a fresh copy of Windows on a test machine
2. install all available Windows Updates (so the system is up to date)
3. create a sample MSI installer which only installs some dummy files (let's say Product Version 1.0.0) and host it on a web server
4. install the MSI from the online location using a command line like this:
msiexec /i http://server/share/package.msi
5. create a .MSP patch (e.g. v1.0.1) which only adds a new file to v1.0.0
6. install the v1.0.1 patch
RESULT: the patch installation fails with the following error message: "The filename , directory name , or volume label syntax is incorrect"
NOTES:
1. the issue was replicated on Windows 7 and 8 machines UP TO DATE
2. the issue is not replicated on a fresh installation of Windows without Updates applied
Is there anyone aware of what could cause this error? Once again the patch installation fails only on Windows machines with the latest Updates installed.
Thx,
Daniel
