Windows 8 installation on macbookpro mavericks

i am trying to install windows 8 using boot camp(by inserting pendrive and cd,opening bootcamp and so on).
i have downloaded boot camp software on my mac and inserted pen drive.after opening zip file of boot camp,then copied three items to the root level of pen drive.
then with pen drive inserted,i have inserted windows 8 cd into the drive.after opening boot camp,there are two options,one is download boot camp software and the other option is install windows 7.i have unchecked download boot camp software as i already downloaded.i kept check mark on install windows 7 and then clicked continue.but it is displaying insert windows 7 disc and wait for few seconds to recognize the disc.
macbook pro MODEL LATE 2011 13 INCH
processor-2.4 ghz intel core i5.
memory-8 gb 1333 mhz ddr3
hard disk 500 gb
version upgraded to mavericks from lion.current version is 10.9.4

First of all you should know that the mentioned settings (secure boot and CSM/UEFI mode) needs to be changed only if you want to install non-UEFI capable system (Win 7 and older).
Win 8 and Win 8.1 are UEFI capable systems and you should use the UEFI mode option.
Im wondering how you did you try to boot from the optical disk drive?
Did you change the boot order in BIOS?
How about pressing F12 while powering the notebook?
Usually you should see the bootable devices. Here you should choose the ODD as booting device.
By the way: are you using the original Win 8 disk from Microsoft or did you copy this disk?
Sometimes its possible that the disk isnt readable by optical disk drive.

Windows Installation impossible with BOOTCAMP - keep getting BSOD

Hello Community,
I am facing a huge problem. Countless times I have been trying to install Windows 7 64 Bit on my Macbook Pro via Bootcamp now.
I had it working a few months ago, then the Windows installation kept getting blue screens so I decided to remove it and reinstall. But I can't.
The problem is that I keep getting a Bluescreen right after the installation is at the point where there is only a black screen and a grey loading bar, above written: "Windows is loading files."
Right after I get the Bluescreen. I dont even get to see the menue in which i would have to select a hard drive etc.
The Bluescreen says: PAGE_FAULT_IN_NON_PAGED_AREA and Error Code: STOP: 0x00000050 or sometimes STOP: 0x0000007E
I browsed the web but couldn't find a similar problem yet.
Solutions including windows repair etc can not work for me as I am not even in the installation menu when this happens.
Can someone help please?
I have a MacBook Pro 13 inch (Mid 2012), OSX 10.9.2, 2,5 GHz Intel Core i5, 16 Gb Ram, Intel HD Graphics 4000, 750 GB HDD (WDC WD7500BPKX) and the APPLE HDD 500 GB as secondary HDD (I use the CD-Slot for the second HDD)

No, when I built in the new HDD and took out the cd drive for the apple HDD I used it to format everything and freshly install Mavericks. Right after I did it I installed Win7 without any problems. This was in January, the Bluescreens started in March..

Windows installation problem with Bootcamp

Since a few days I have a new iMac 21,5 (end 2013) Maverick latest version installed as I had on my "old iMac" I tried to instal Windows 8 or Windows 7.
Use the bootcamp and set the right size for my windows part, and download the drivers all goes well. After the iMac reboot comes up with the setup from Windows
ask the keyboard settings and than shows the partitions. Select partition 4:BOOTCAMP. Here starts the problem, I do not see the advance drive options, as also the "NEXT" button is not selectable. As I format the partion also "NEXT" button is not selectable. I am stuck here, please help :-)

I got stuck with the same error and spent a long time trying to work this out. It turns out that the issue is your USB3 stick. I'm not sure how it gets so far into the installation, but it seems that the USB3 drivers aren't available to the Windows installer.
Try again with a USB2-only drive and you should find that Windows will install fine.

Bootcamp Windows Installer won't boot properly on rBMP late 2013

I have been redirected to this community. I will repost the same question I asked in the mackbook pro community. I am new to Apple Support Communities, I hope this is okay for me to ask the question here again.
Here is my post in the other community: https://discussions.apple.com/thread/5922375?tstart=0
I just bought my MBP Retina 13" Late 2013 last week. It came with Mavericks 10.9, and I have since updated it to 10.9.1.
I have installed Windows 7 64bit using Bootcamp, and ran into a situation, which I hope the experts here could give me a hand.
I used the first two options in Boot Camp Assistant (BCA) and sucessfully created a Bootcamp Windows Installer for Windows 7 64bit on a USB Thumb Drive (USB 3.0). Then I launched Boot Camp Assistant again, and selected the last option to install Windows 7 64 bit on the bootcamp partition, the installation went through successfully. Both Windows 7 and the bootcamp drivers are installed, and I am able to dual boot OS X and Windows properly.
However, if I try to launch Bootcamp Windows 7 USB Installer created using BCA as described in the above by holding down <option> key while rebooting, and select the USB device lableled as 'Windows', Windows 7 Installer starts (in BIOS boot mode, I believe) and then it freezes after it gets to the language selection screen, the mackbook no longer responds to either the trackpad or the keyboard.
In other words, this Windows 7 USB Installer boots properly when launched by BCA's third option. However, this USB Installer does not boot properly when launched by selecting 'Windows' after holding down <option> key while rebooting. What am I doing wrong here?
Any help will be greatly appreciated!
Thanks,
Joe

I did create a Recovery Disk from inside Windows 7 this weekend following your suggestion. Unfortunately, this has the same problem as the installer.
However, USB Installer I created for Windows 8.1 could boot properly both in BIOS boot mode or EFI boot mode. This Windows 8.1 USB Installer is created using the standard procedure for the BCA; the only difference from the Windows 7 USB Installer is that I used Windows 8.1 ISO instead of Windows 7 ISO.
With this Windows 8.1 USB Installer, I am able to access the BOOTCAMP partition and perform necessary operations to fix startup issues, and perform backup and restore using the native Windows tools for the BOOTCAMP partition. And no need to spend $30 on WinClone
Thanks for your help!

Windows installation error, i'm in a constant loop!

Im working on a mid-2007 iMac running Mavericks. Trying to install Windows 7, 32 bit using bootcamp (4). After hours and hours of trying problem solve errors of bootcamp unable to partion my disk, I finally got it to work and to the Windows install portion.
During the installation my computer went black and appeared tohave turned off. I pressed the power button and it powered back up. However I can not complete Windows setup. It boots in Windows, and bgeins the setup process but I then get an error that says
"The computer restarted unexpectedly or encountered an error.Windows installation cannot proceed. To install Windows, click "ok" to restart the computer"
I keep restarting and getting the same error over and over again.
Followed Apple manual's advice and held the option key when rebooting and chose the windows CD, however I keep getting the same error and not sure how to get past this point.
It took me days/hours to finally get my harddrive to partition (after that kept returning an error) and am at my wits end to get this to work.

install gets pretty far. After initial reboot get error message "windows setup could not configure windows to run on this hardware" then the computer shuts off.

Unable to install itunes 10.5 after update issue. "windows installer package error"

So when the update for itunes happened, it wiped my ipod, and then my ipod would not work with itunes. So I uninstalled itunes and tried to reinstall it and it gives me that error message. "There is a problem with this Windows Installer package. A program required for this install to complete could not be run. Contact your support personnel or package vendor." I have tried all the fixes from deleting everything to running command prompts. I think i tried everything.

This solution correct my bug.
I had the same error in with the i-tunes installation and i did this and it worked.... This works for any i tunes that fails to install itself on 64 Bit
You have to go into your registry.
Start, run, type in “regedit”.
Next go to HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE.
SYSTEM
CurrentControlSet
Services
MSIServer
To the right you’ll see WOW64. Double click on it, or right click on it and click on modify. Change the setting from 1 to 0.
Next, go to the start menu again and type in the search box: “services.msc”.
Look for and find the Windows Installer service.
Double click on it and tell it to stop. Next, tell it to start.
You should now be able to install your programs.
------ By the way I dont have the WOW64 option is not available.
I was able to install quick time just fine. All of the other apple software associated with itunes installed fine but itunes did not. Im not sure if there is a virus that could do this. I didnt delete anything but apple folders.
I have tried other things but i cant remember exactly there were.
When the install process for itunes is running it changes with the error message shows up during install.
Thanks.

I should have posted this earlier, but anyway. I restored my laptop to factory version after backing up any useful data, and the first thing I the laptop was restored was connect to the internet, download and install the latest version of iTunes. And Bingo! It worked.

Windows Installer error message when installing or removing iTunes

When I try to either upgrade, install, or remove iTunes, I get this message:
"The Windows Installer Service could not be accessed. This can occur if you are running Windows in safe mode, or if the Windows Installer is not correctly installed. Contact your support personnel for assistance."
Anyone know how I can fix this?

My iTunes wont update, and I can't connect my new iPhone if it doesn't update. It says error when I try to update, and I cant download it because of a "Windows Installer" error...

I just not a new iPhone and in order to sync it I need the newest iTunes, but I can't update it! I tried checking for updates and then trying to downlaod it. I get this error: "Errors occured while installing the updates. If the problem persists, chose Tools > Download Only and try installing manually."
Where on earth is Tools anyway?
When I tried just reinstalling all of iTunes, I had a Windows Installer error...I don't even know what that is!

tools is at the top of the apple updater but dont get your hopes up

Hi! I can't upgrade my iTunes 10.3.1.55 on my Windows XP 2002 SP3 to the latest version of iTunes. Got the message: "A problem has occured with the Windows Installer-package. A program needed for this installation could not be run." What to do?

Perhaps let's first try updating your Apple Software Update.
Launch Apple Software Update ("Start > All Programs > Apple Software Update"). Does it launch and offer you a newer version of Apple Software Update? If so, choose to install just that update to Apple Software Update. (Deselect any other software offered at the same time.)
If the ASU update goes through okay, try another iTunes install. Does it go through without the errors this time?

Itunes and windows installation prob...

I had an older version of itunes and tried to upgrade to 7.1. Everytime I try to download it, I click on the 'itunes setup' icon on my desktop and a 'windows installer' window pops up with a bunch of info that I don't understand. I uninstalled the old itunes and quicktime...any other suggestions?

with that one, let's try the following procedure.
first, head into your Add/Remove programs and uninstall your QuickTime. if it goes, good. if it doesn't, we'll just attend to it when we attend to itunes.
next, download and install the Windows Installer CleanUp utility. use it to clear any existing itunes and/or QuickTime installation configuration information from the PC.
Description of the Windows Installer CleanUp Utility
next, use the the following document as a guide for manual removal of leftover itunes and quicktime program files:

now try another itunes install. does it go through properly this time?

I am trying to update iTunes but get this box message comes up, "Network error occurred while attempting to read from the file: c:/windows/installer/itunes.msi" I have be told to uninstall all iTunes then reinstall, if I do this will I lose my Library

Looking on the net to solve this problem, it says
Removing and Reinstalling iTunes, QuickTime, and other software components for Windows XP
I have save all my iTunes on a CD.
If I uninstall iTunes, will I lose my iTunes library and video and apps and inturn will I lose this off my phone..
I have tryed to update my iPhone firmware as they said there is a new update firmware, it would not install this and put my phone into recovery mode and I had to use iPhone recovery fix to get it out of recovery mode, my iPhone did a back-up before it tried to update the firmware.
Any idea's are welcome

Download the Windows Installer CleanUp utility from the following page (use one of the links under the "DOWNLOAD LOCATIONS" thingy on the Major Geeks page):
http://majorgeeks.com/download.php?det=4459
To install the utility, doubleclick the msicuu2.exe file you downloaded.
Now run the utility ("Start > All Programs > Windows Install Clean Up"). In the list of programs that appears in CleanUp, select any iTunes entries and click "Remove", as per the following screenshot:
Quit out of CleanUp, restart the PC and try another iTunes install. Does it go through properly this time?
