Trouble installing Win7 64-bit on i5 MBA

I was able to make an .iso of the disc, had all three boxes checked on the bootcamp install screen, formatted Windows on install, booted into Windows. This is when the issues began.
Obviously, without any drivers installed, the resolution is poor, no internet, sound, etc. Just basic functions. So I inserted the thumb drive and opened the Windows support folder. Found setup.exe, double clicked on it. I got some strange error that I can't remember...basically, nothing worked when trying to install the bootcamp drivers.  The error is "The application has failed to start because it's side-by-side configuration is incorrect.  Please see the application event log for more detail."  <-- As cryptic as it gets...
So, I'm completely stuck. Frustrating because I've easily installed bootcamp on many, many macs in the past.
Not sure what's wrong...maybe Wind7 64-bit is not compatible? Should I try 32-bit? I don't want 32-bit due to it not recognizing 4-gigs of ram.
Help!

I ran into the same problem installing Windows Server 2008 R2 on a 2011 Mac Mini. There's actually a very simple solution.
The setup.exe file in \WindowsSupport is giving me the exact same error. Can't figure out why.
However, there are other installers in there that work just fine! Check in the \WindowsSupport\Drivers\Apple\ folder. The BootCamp64.msi installer worked for me and seems to do exactly the same thing as the main setup. Haven't tried the others but I assume they're okay as well.
Good luck!

  • HP 2000 - 2c12NR: Removed Win8, Installed Win7 64-bit; Touchpad Problems

    Greetings HP forums! 
    My name is Bob and I am having an issue with an HP 2000 laptop.  A friend requested I remove Windows 8 from a laptop, and install Windows 7 since he was much more familiar with the old GUI.  
    I installed Win7 64-bit and am having issues with the touchpad consistently working correctly.  I have let Windows use its generic drivers, and have installed the Win8 Synaptics touch pad driver/utility.  Both drivers produce the same problematic results.  The strange issues I am having are as follows:
    - Touchpad works fine for 5-30 minutes
    - Touchpad becomes inoperable for varying amounts of time; 1-5 minutes
    - Touchpad starts working again, but requires higher than normal pressure to work OR only works on the RIGHT side of the touchpad
    - Touchpad stops working again, and then after swirling/twirling my finger around the touchpad it will start moving itself without any further input to the Touchpad at all.  Everytime it starts moving on its own, it exhibits the same behavior.  It moves only vertically, in  a perfectly straight line, roughly 2/3 the heighth of the screen, and is very choppy skipping up and down; This lasts for 10-30 seconds.
    - After it's done 'ghosting' the cursor up and down, the Touchpad is usable again, but is very finnicky.  It requires excessive pressure or response is very laggy/inaccurate to the touch you are inputting.
    - Typically after a reboot it works perfectly fine for a short amount of time, and then starts acting as I have described above.
    I have tried altering any and all of the settings in the Synaptics driver utility to no avail.  I have uninstalled/reinstalled, enabled/disabled the hardware/drivers numerous times.  Each time either drivers are removed and installed it will work fine for a short amount of time and then go back to acting crazy.  
    I thought the ribbon cable may have been loose, so I opened the laptop up far enough to check the ribbon cable for the Touchpad.  All was well, everything was snug.  
    At this point I am thinking there is an issue with the Touchpad itself.  While I am waiting for a reply I am going to try reinstalling Win7 since I have exhausted all other ideas I have.
    Any and all information is greatly appreciated.
    Thank You,
    Bob Melchert

    *EDIT*
    I just started the process to re-install Windows.  Once files were finished loading and the initial install screen had loaded, (where you select Language, Time/Currency Format, and Keyboard input method) the Touchpad immediately started moving vertically on itss own.  Once it stopped moving on its own, I am only able to move the cursor vertically in the spot where it was moving itself; Any input to the Touchpad only allows vertical movement.  This is the first time I have encountered this issue.  Since this is happening with Windows loaded into RAM, I am becoming more certain this is a hardware issue.

    Hello disgrntld,
    Welcome to the HP Forums!
    I understand there is no audio coming from the computer. Before anything else, I would suggest a manual uninstall and reinstall of the sound driver:
    1. Go into Device Manager, then "Sound, video and game controllers".
    2. Look for the Audio driver. Right-click on it and select "Uninstall". Do not restart the computer.
    3. Restart the computer. It will force the computer to detect the hardware and install an appropriate driver.
    Please let me know your results. Thanks!

  • HT5639 Can I install Win7 32-bit from a bootable USB-Stick on iMac using Boot Camp?

    I would like to run Win7 32-bit on my iMac 8,1.
    I have a bootable USB-Stick to install Win7.
    Does Boot Camp support the installation from USB-Stick?
    Thanks

    Welcome to Apple Support Communities
    You can only install Windows from a USB drive in one of these Macs:
    - MacBook Pro with Retina display.
    - MacBook Air.
    - Mac mini (Mid 2010 and newer).
    - iMac (Late 2012).
    As you don't have any of those Macs, you have to install Windows through a DVD. Also, the only iMac that can install Windows using a USB drive only supports a 64-bit Windows 7 and 8 version with Boot Camp

  • Trouble installing Vista 64 bit home premium

    I am trying to use boot camp to install Vista 64 bit home premium. The disk is a full install. Boot camp works fine, but when I insert the windows disk and attempt to boot off of it, I am confronted with a screen that gives me two options with no names, labeled only 1 and 2, and instructions to select a CD boot type. However, I cannot select any of them because my keyboard does not work! I have tried several times, with several partition sizes, and even brought out an old USB Microsoft keyboard, which is still not recognized. I have done this with only non-apple peripherals, as well - microsoft mouse, acer monitor, and all USB devices plugged directly into the back of the computer. I have not seen this problem listed anywhere else, so can anyone here help me? I have looked everywhere. Thank you.

    It is an issue iwth our older EFI 1.x (or EFI32) and Vista SP1 64-bit that needs UEFI 2.x (EFI64).
    Sort of the same issue as the Nvidia 8800GT had to come out in two flavors.
    I have Windows already installed, older pre-SP1, and from there I can install SP1 DVD.
    At this point, I much prefer Windows 7 over Vista x64 SP1 or SP2(beta). Just runs better. Last day tomorrow maybe to download.

  • Need advice for installing win7 64 bit via oem dvd builders disk.

    My current system = late 2009 iMac. I am wanting to install Win7 Pro in Boot Camp. I have been told that by using the lesser cost system builders disk there should be know significant glitches providing for the downloads of system files to fat 32 USB stick.
    Question #1 How large should the boot camp partitions be for the install?
    Question#2 How large shoud the USB stick be? Can a directly connected firewire drive be used instead?
    Question#3 Any other advice will be greatly appreciated with regards to this software install.
    Question#4 Is it true that I will need a wired mouse for the install? and will a apple wirless mouse work with win7 in boot camp?
    Thanks!

    1. 60GB or greater
    2. 2GB or greater
    3. Read the directions thoroughly and backup before you start.
    4. You should have a wired mouse and keyboard available, just in case.
    4b An Apple Bluetooth Mouse (Magic Mouse) will work with Windows once Windows is installed completely.

  • Trouble installing itunes 64 bit

    Running Windows 7 64 bit.  Itunes working fine until update to 10.5.2 attempted.  Installation fails.  I am able to install 32 bit version but not 64 bit.  As a result, cannot see my iphone in itunes either.  Anyone having a similar issue?  Apple tech could not solve it after 5 hours on the phone unfortunately. 

    HRESULT: 0x80070BC9
    These ones are typically caused by underlying problems on the PC that also often cause Windows Updates to fail to install. If we can fix the Windows Update trouble, we can usually get the iTunes trouble cleaned up en passant.
    Go into your Windows update and try to check for new updates. If updates install, stock up on the ones you're behind on, restarting the PC if requested to do so. After the restart, try installing iTunes again. Does it go through this time for you?
    If windows updates fail to install, go into your Update History and doubleclick the failures. What alphanumeric codes appear for you? Are they also 80070BC9, or some other number? (If they're another number, what number are you getting?)

  • Problem installing Win7 64 bit on early 2008 iMac 2.66 GHz

    I have read posts elsewhere that, contrary to what Apple says, it is possible to install 64 bit Windows 7 on an early 2008 iMac 8,1. The problem I'm having is that I can't get the iMac to boot from the 64 bit Windows 7 install disc. The error I'm getting is "Bootmgr is missing". I can view files on the disc just fine when I'm in OS X, so I know the bootmgr file is on the disc. But it refuses to boot from it. I know this hardware can support 64 bit cause I can boot OS X 10.6.2 into 64 bit mode.
    Anyone else run in to this? Thx for any help.

    Thanks Hatter. That did the trick. Actually, the link you sent me lead me to this site:
    http://blog.andersonshatch.com/2009/01/11/windows-7-x64-on-a-macbook-pro-guide/

  • Various missing drivers after re-installing Win7 64 bit on hp pavilion dv7-6111eo

    Aloha
    First off... I'm no techy, geek or nerd... And I mean those words in the best way, to those who are.
    In this case You need to see me like a kid in kindergarden, being taken by the hand, and being shown what to do, down the the last detail. Sad but true.
    Without me knowing why, I experienced missing several DLL-files, and often got error messages about those.
    A pain in the neck, so I re-installed Windows 7 64 bit, as I didn't want to mess with those DLLs missing.
    After that re-installing, I couldn't get internet-connection to my router. Luckily I have a 10+ year old stationary, where I after some time found the driver I needed, so that works now.
    But now it seems there's several other drivers missing/not been installed.
    I got a little info, from another post, what to provide with info, and hope that will be enough. if not, then please let me know the additional info that may be needed, and where I can find those on my PC, so I can provide these.
    Missing drivers:
    Network Controller;
    Hardware ID: PCI\VEN_8086&DEV_008B&SUBSYS_53158086&REV_34
    SM Bus Controller;
    Hardware ID: PCI\VEN_8086&DEV_1C22&SUBSYS_1659103C&REV_05
    Universal Serial Bus (USB) Controller;
    Hardware ID: PCI\VEN_1033&DEV_0194&SUBSYS_1659103C&REV_04
    I have 4 USB-ports, but only one will work, the others don't respond, and I need all four running at the same time. Plus I'd like to have everything in order after I had to re-install Win 7.
    I thank You in advance for any and every help I can get. Just have in mind, that I need the things carved into paper.
    This question was solved.

    Hi:

  • Is it possible to install Win7 64-bit on Satego P100-490?

    Hi,
    I wonder if its possible to install that version on my notebook?
    There are no drivers to download on the toshiba page, so I'd like to ask if anyone has any suggestions for me.

    Hi
    Yes, this is possible.
    Satego P100 series is very similar to Satellite P100 series and if you need Win 7 drivers I recommend checking also the drivers released for Satellite P100.
    Note; Satellite P100 is a little bit older notebook series and the drivers can be found in Archive. In download form -> Product type choose Archive and then point to the P100 series.

  • ITunes 10.5 Won't Install Win7 64-bit; Error 2324

    Install starts, gets to the end, and then backs out.  Tried uninstalling, now I have a broken iTunes that won't re-install.

    I had a similar problem and after much trial and error, I found a process that worked for me.  I hope this works for you guys and best of luck!!
    Have Patience!!!!!!!
    Unplug all Apple Devices from your USB ports or any other ports
    Restart your computer
    Open up Control Panel> Programs > Uninstall Programs
    Click the “Publisher” to list the programs by publisher
    Uninstall iTunes and Restart the computer
    Repeat Steps 4-5 and uninstall all Apple Inc. programs (NOTE: If a program does not successfully uninstall, attempt to Repair it first)
    Upon uninstalling all programs by Apple Inc. restart your computer
    Delete all these folders:
    C:\Program Files (x86)\QuickTime\
    C:\Windows\SysWOW64\QuickTime
    C:\Windows\SysWOW64\QuickTimeVR
    C:\Program Files (x86)\Bonjour
    C:\Program Files (x86)\Common Files\Apple\
    C:\Program Files (x86)\iTunes
    Restart the computer
    Remove all Apple Inc. entries from your registry (For this step I would recommend using CCleaner or aprogram like it if you are not familiar with the RegEdit command… I personallyused CCleaner which can be downloaded for free from www.download.com)
    Once you have removed all registry entries from Apple Inc. restart your computer.
    Do one more check to ensure that all registry errors and Apple Inc. entries are removed (which include iTunes, Bonjour, QuickTime, etc)
    Do another quick check to make sure all Apple Inc. programs are uninstalled from the control panel, all the folders are deleted from Step 9 and the registry is clean.
    One more restart and then download iTunes and the installation should go through flawlessly
    I hope this works for you guys!! I just downloaded iTunes 10.5 and updated my phone to iOS 5.

  • Why Apple Thunderbolt Display won't work on BootCamp Win7 64-bit while being plugged to MBA?

    Hello,
    I have MBA (latest) & installed win7 64-bit in BootCamp, I do also have Apple Thunderbolt 27" Display.
    When I disconnect the ATD and re-connect it in Mac OS X, it works fine like a charm, but when I disconnect then re-connect in BootCamp, it doesn't work at all whatsoever, in fact, I have to restart my MBA (while thunderbolt is connected) to make it work in BC, this is the only way to make it work.
    So, my question is; If I disconnected ATD in BootCamp then re-connected it, why it won't work?
    I've googled everywhere about this issue, but no luck.
    Any idea?

    to calculate how much video ram is needed one
    take
    the vertical number of pixels and * with horisontal number of pixels and * with 32bit colour which is 4 bytes
    so if it's the 13" macbook air
    1440 * 900 * 4 = 5.184MB for main display
    +
    2560 *1440 *4 = 14.75MB for second display
    sounds like the intel hd 5000 would have that as dedicated memory even if the windows driver did not allow to use shared system mem as extra
    could be a problem with the driver for windows
    maybe a person who ran a setup like yours would have more to contribute with
    my setup is an imac 21" with amd video card and a 24" dvi dell monitor and that works fine in windows so it's a different animal altogether

  • Drivers/Utilities CD..XP and VISTA..can I use vista for WIN7 64 bit install?

    Drivers/Utilities CD's, that came with the p-35 Motherboard..XP and VISTA..can I use Vista for WIN7 64 bit install, or download the chip set drivers for Awin7 BEFORE the OS install??
    MSI P-35 Platinum
    Q6600 Core 2 Quad
    Presently XP 32Bit
    NVidia geforce 8600GT
    8GB DDR2 SDRAM PC6400-800MHz
    Windows 7..waiting to be installed.
    Hello,
    I WANT TO DO A CLEAN INSTALL.I have Windows 32 Home XP, I have the Win7 OEM I want to install.
    When i bought my MSI mobo, it came with both the drivers and utilities for XP and Vista.   Can I use the chip set drivers and utilities for Vista, until i can go to MSI and download the latest chip set drivers?  When do i install these drivers....before the OS install, or after?
    Can I format these drives first, go in the BIOS change to boot sequence from Raptor Boot Drive to the DVD/Rom to boot the WIN7 from, or should I format while installing Win7?  
    Someone on another forum suggested that 1) disconnect the two droves, then install the OS on the boot drive, and2) before win7 install, make the proposed boot drive (NOT THE DVD/CD ROM the first choice priority for the boot sequence....is this right?
    Is it absolutely necessary to unplug the other two drives, while formatting and installing the WIN7 O.S.?  People tell me that there is a chance of the OS installing sometimes on the other drives.
    Also, if I want to change the now present boot drive Local disk letter (C) to my storage drive (G) and the other two drive letters, can I do this in manage disks, anytime, or only during windows setup install?
    Thx

      I've never had this much trouble hooking up a HDD.
           I have two IDE DVD/CD ROMS.  (My RAID MODE was IDE in XP OS, and still is with WIN7.)
           I have three SATA HDD's.
    After unplugging the SATA 2TB HDD while I installed the WIN7 OS on the 500 GB HDD (it was on the 74 RAPTOR, but I moved location, and made absolutly sure nothing went on my raptor)
      So today I decided to re-hook up the 2TB Storage HDD, and when I did, I went into bios,and to the cell menu, and LOAD ALL DEFAULT SETTINGS, so it could see my newly installed HDD,which I had all my backup Data from the previous HDD. I also checked and the RAID MODE was IDE, and the boot sequence was the WDC 500GB Boot/OS drive, rebooted,then I got that annoying blanked out screen with that blinking cursor, so I got back into the bios,and changed the 1st boot to the IDE Pioneer DVD/CD ROM, 2nd boot to the 500GB HDD, and rebooted again..still got that blinking cursor.
    I opened up the Mobo, checked and replugged all SATA, and power cables to the three HDDS, tried it again,then still got the blinking cursor.  Seems no matter what I change in the boot sequence,it never wants to boot properly
    ....AND THEN,
     I started with TAB > POST> started WINDOWS, then once it opened up, I went to manage Disks, saw all three HDDs were online and healthy.  Win. Explorer also listed them in that folder, in device manager, it listed all three too.
     The managed window showed this:
    74GB    (system,active,Primary partition)                       Storage
    2TB     (Primary partition)                                           Excessive Storage
    500GB  (Boot, page files,crash-Dump, Primary partition)   Operating system
    Both the PCI IDE BusMaster and ON-Chip SATA Controller were both ENABLED.
    Before I just got online, I tried RESTART, and it opened Windows the usual way,  so I hope I don't have any more problems. It worked fine BEFORE I just plugged in the 2TB HDD back in.
    I pretty much did what everyone suggested,except for leaving in the 74GB Raptor when I installed WIN7, which prompted me to format the drive prior to installing the OS.  Also, when I changed the IDE, RAID,and AHC1, to the AHC1 Mode, just before I installed Window7, like a few suggested, I also had problems, so after the install, I went back and changed it back to IDE.  My Floppy was an IDE, but I removed it from my system, and disabled in BIOS, but even a few times I went into Bios and saw that thje floppy was 1st Boot, even though I changed to either the DVD/CD Rom, or the 500GB boot drive.            
    So what is the preferred boot sequence?
