How to convert Windows 8.1 .exe file to ISO image for installation via Boot Camp?

I have a late 2013 retina display MacBook Pro and want to use Boot Camp to run one piece of software that is run exclusively on Windows operating systems. I have a Windows 8.1 download from MS that is an .exe file, and I need to convert it (I believe) to an ISO image on a flash drive. How do I convert the .exe file to an ISO image?

If you want to use Mac OS X at the same time as Windows, run one of these:
VMWare Fusion
Parallels
Virtual Box (Open Source)
If you are willing to alternate Boot Windows -OR- Mac OS X, all you need is Bootcamp Assistant (and your Windows installer, of course.)
>>NB In any case, do not allow Windows to directly modify the Partition Map or change the size of any Partition. That will wipe out the Partition Map, and Mac OS X. Windows is not a pleasant guest.

Windows 7 Boot Issues (After Installation via Boot Camp)

Hi All
Today I attempted to install Windows 7 x64 on my mac via boot camp.
The install went fine, and I installed the necessary drivers using my Mac OSX Install DVD.
When I restarted I could select Windows as the disc I wanted to boot into, but after selecting it, I only saw the white blinking cursor at the top left hand side of the screen for a few seconds before the computer restarted and booted into OSX.
I tried it a few more times just to make sure it wasn't a one off.
I then inserted my Windows install disc and attempted to repair startup. There were no issues detected.
I can also successfully boot into Windows 7 through VMWare Fusion in OSX, leading me to believe that there must be some thing wrong on the Mac end of booting (although I'm not familiar with the booting process in Mac, so I'm not really sure).
If anyone has any idea what's wrong, I'd really like a hand!
Thanks

Cannot start Windows installer via Boot Camp

Hi!
Recently I cannot start my Vista, so I decided to delete the partition, create a new partition, and reinstall a Vista.
When I clicked Start Install Windows in Boot Camp, the MacBook Pro restarted and showed a black screen (it should display "Windows is loading files..."). I waited for 10 minutes or so, but nothing changed.
I tried an XP CD from my friend, and the same thing happened.
I don't think the DVD went wrong, because I used that DVD to install Vista on my MBP one week ago
Any suggestions? Thanks in advance!

If the screen goes black and nothing seems to be happening then it sounds like the install process isn't even starting, which seems rather strange. You might try asking for help in the Boot Camp forum in case someone there has had the same problem.
You said you had several Vista and XP installation discs. Are they copies or authentic? Also, keep in mind that you need an OEM disc to install Windows in Boot Camp, you won't be able to install it from an upgrade disc.

Windows 7 not completing installation via Boot Camp

Hi everyone,
I'm having a devil of a time installing Windows 7 on my 27" Late 2010 iMac. I'm using the latest version of Bootcamp and a brand new copy of Windows 7. I'm following all the Boot Camp instructions, create the partition (I want at least 150gb), insert the Windows 7 disk and install Windows 7. I choose the partition, format it, then click install. It goes through all the installation steps up until "Completing Installation...", where it will hang.
I've tried now installing Windows seven times. I've redone the partition. I read somewhere that it could be hanging on usb drivers. While I don't have an Apple mouse, I've tried installing it with just my Apple branded keyboard and it still won't install. I've defragged my hard drive, still hangs. I've crossed my fingers. I've cursed at it. Nothing seems to work.
Does anyone know what could be preventing the in

It is the Windows 7 64-bit disc that came with my Dell a while back, but I no longer have that Dell. I have also tried using my Vista Ultimate 64-bit disc and my Windows XP Pro SP3 disc, but none of these worked. Same result - white screen. All of these discs came with my previous PC computers that I used to have, but I no longer have those PCs. Only their discs. Is using discs that came with other computers for those computers the problem? Do I have to use a Windows disc that has not been used before?

The disks that come with PCs most often include only the drivers and applications required by the PC they were made for. You can not use these disks to install on other than the original hardware.

Is Windows 7 64bit OEM version installable via Boot camp?

I just bought an iMAC with a 27in display. It has a 3.4 GHz i7 processor and runs Apple Lion 10.7.2 OS. Over a year ago I bought an OEM version of Windows 7 called WIN PRO 7 64-BIT english version to install in a AMD processor PC I was assembling. I never used it and never opend the box. According to the written conditions on the box, it must be preinstalled on the hard drive using the OEM Preinstallation Kit (OPK). My question is:
Will this version of Windows 7 install properly using the Apple Bootcamp process software? Will it be able to run in the Bootcamp setup hard drive partition set aside for Windows use?
I am cautious by nature and I don't want to do anything dumb. I remember Ginzburgs corallary to Murphy's Law. Murphy was nothing but a dammned optimist!
Many thanks ......K6JPJ

Rather than asking in the Windows Compatibility forum you should try asking in the Boot Camp forum where Windows Versions and Boot Camp are frequently discussed. https://discussions.apple.com/community/windows_software/boot_camp

No option to reformat during Windows XP installation under Boot Camp

Ok, I just purchased Windows XP Professional SP2 to install on my Macbook Pro via Boot Camp. I first attempted to install it last night, and ran into a variety of issues.
I went into Boot Camp Assistant, printed out the instructions, and read them carefully. I continued on to designate the size of my Windows partition, which I adjusted to 45gbs. Then I created the partition with no difficulty whatsoever. After this I inserted my Windows installation disk and restarted the computer. Upon restart, however, the computer ejected the Windows disk before the computer even got past the grey screen. I reinserted the disk and the blue installation screen appeared successfully. It came to a screen that asked me what partition I wanted to use to install Windows, and I chose Partition C (titled something like "BOOTCAMP PARTITION FAT32"). The size of this partition was 45 gbs, so I know I chose the correct partition. Now this is where I ran into my biggest problem. *After I chose my partition, I am given no option to reformat the partition. It just skips that step entirely and continues on to the installation screen.* Windows installs and restarts the computer, only to bring my to the dreaded black screen with "Disk Error" on it. I know it brings me to this screen because I did not reformat my partition. The problem is, I'm never given the option to reformat the partition during the installation.
I have tried deleting my Windows partition and creating a new one (this time 32gb), and I get the same issue. It simply does not give me the option to reformat.
I've googled this and discovered that many other Mac users have ran into this same issue. _I've also discovered that the majority of feedback they receive is that they need to reformat the drive, but this is the problem: we can't. We are not given the option._ I have no idea what to do. Please help.

I just went through the same problem you are experiencing right now. I bet you are trying to install OEM version of windows. I used an old windows upgrade and ran the repair, which brings you to the command prompt c:, run "FORMAT C: /FS FAT32" . Once this is done go back and reinstall your Windows XP OEM. Works like a charm.

Latest Windows 7 on latest Mac OS X via Boot Camp = display driver problems

I've just done (with difficulty) a Windows 7 installation via Boot Camp on my hot new Mac Quad. But when I use Photoshop Elements for Windows-- the problem may occur with other Windows applications too but I haven't tried them yet-- I'm getting frequent blackouts and recoveries accompanied by the now slightly infuriating error message, "DISPLAY DRIVER STOPPED RESPONDING AND HAS RECOVERED. Display driver Radeon ATI family stopped responding and has successfully recovered."
I'm also getting frequent spotty screens which suggest compatability problems. What gives? Are other people troubled by this? Seems to me that this is a problem crying out for an Apple software fix. But other people may have an answer now.

Did you uppdate to bootcamp 3.1? To update to 3.1 you need to have installed 3.0 from your Snow Leopard install disc. What version of the display driver are you using.
See this thread that just started too.
http://discussions.apple.com/thread.jspa?threadID=2345677
3.1 solved the "display stopped responding" for me. Of course that introduced other issues.
Check your driver version and read here for other display issues fun...

Is there any way I can convert a .exe file to .iso on my MacBook Air? I'm trying to install Windows via BootCamp but the download from Microsoft is a .exe file which does me no good.

I'm trying to install Windows 8 via Boot Camp, but the download from Microsoft is a .exe file so when I go to create the bootable USB drive, it fails. I've read some of the other threads about this topic, but I want to know if there is any way to convert to .iso without having to find someone's Windows computer to borrow. Can anyone help?

No. You would require a PC in order to run the executable which is an installer, not a disc image or an archive.

How to change default directory of exe file

I have created a VI that reads a template and writes on the template and saves it to a new file. When i created to an exe file, I would like for this exe to be able to be used on any computer. As such, the directory where i will open my template will change on different computers. Hence I am having this problem of how to change my VI such that it will choose this template in a new computer and set it as its default directory.
I understand that in my own computer, I can simple "set current values as default" so that my VI will always open this file from a particular path. But what i need help with is when i put it on another computer where the particular path would definitely be different. I tried using the config file.vi but I could not understand how it is used.
Please assist me in this. Thanks

Hi Aaron,
Micorsoft suggest to use folders like UserAppData to store files for your own programs.
Put your template in there and use GetSystemDir function to get the UserAppData path...
Or you put the template in the program folder or one of it's subfolder (not recommended by MS) and use a relative path to load it...
Best regards,
