Mac Stuck In Boot Camp Installation



Double-click Setup.exe:

'Boot Camp x64 is unsupported on this computer model'

Double-click BootCamp64.msi:

'This installation requires elevated privileges. Launch the installer through setup.exe.'

Open Boot Camp folder in the flash drive and install the drivers you’ve downloaded. If Boot Camp asks you to make changes click Yes. Click Repair to reinstall or update previously installed Windows Support Software. If you get message saying that software didn’t pass Windows Logo testing just click Continue Anyway.

Run BootCamp64.msi from an elevated command prompt:

'This version of Boot Camp is not intended for this computer model.'

Now the Issues started when I tried to install Windows 10 64bit got the bootcamp working and the bootable was made without any errors but when it boots and tries to install windows just after the language selection it just gets stuck on the Screen 'Setup is Starting' with an hour glass and no further activity I've tried downloading different.

Using the build mode of imburn, go to the advanced tab, then bootable disc and then select your DVD drive in the extract boot image drop down list. Go ahead and extract the boot image and store it. You can remove a Windows Boot Camp partition from Mac with the same Boot Camp Assistant tool you used to install Windows on the Mac. You can also use Disk Utility separately, or a command line tool to delete the partition, but it’s recommended to follow the official Boot Camp methods.

So what gives? You need to pass the NOCHECK=1 option to the MSI.

I've seen guides recommending modification of the MSI files or other old information that did not work for me.

Open an elevated command prompt (click Start, type 'cmd', then right-click and run as Administrator), go to the the BootCampDriversApple directory, then run this:

msiexec /i BootCamp64.msi NOCHECK=1

I was able to install Boot Camp (and its drivers) under x64 Windows 7 on my 2007 Mac Pro (macpro2,1) this way.

Note that this is not required for all versions of Boot Camp. It was needed for version 4.0.4255, but not version 4.0.4033.

Mac Stuck In Boot Camp Installation Software

Hello, community.

I really hope you can help me. I've searched the internet thin for answers with no luck. Please.

I'm running a Macbook Pro Retina 15' 2013 with macOS Sierra + bootcamp windows 10. The macOS partition is the default boot up partition.

Mac Stuck In Boot Camp Installation


My Problem

When booting up it goes directly to BSOD (0x0000000e) in Windows 10. When trying to POWER + ALT it only shows Windows. Macintosh HD (macOS Sierra) is not visible.


How I got into the Problem

I installed Windows 10 (bootcamp) before upgrading to macOS Sierra. Everything worked fine until I wanted to increase the harddisk size of the Windows partition. I used the Disk Utility to decrease the size of the Mac partition, which resulted in xx GB of unused space.

I then booted up Windows only to find that I was not able to allocate that unused space to Windows (using Partition Wizard).

I thought it was due to the fact, that the unused space wasn't formatted. I then formatted it (FAT) and this is where everything went sideways. My Mac went directly into Win10's BSOD when I restarted it.


What I have done to fix it

I tried to use CMD + R when booting, only to have limited options:

  • Press Apple icon and choose Disk to boot from (don't remember the name): It shows me the two partitions: Mac and Windows. It asks for a password to decrypt the Mac option, when I choose it. After entering the password it vanishes and only the Windows option is left.
  • Trying to reinstall OSx: Since macOS Sierra is a later version than the Recovery Mode's El Capitan, it won't progress.

To be able to write this post, I've plugged in my Windows 10 install USB, formatted the Windows partition and reinstalled Windows 10. This has worked. When pressing POWER + ALT it now shows two Windows options. The new (working) one and the old (BSOD/unusable) one.


What should I do?

How do I boot into macOS? And how do I remove the second (old) windows option when POWER + ALT?

Thank you SO very much for taking the time to read my post. I really do appreciate it! :-)
