Q: [urgent]get "appleSSD.sys" error when installing windows 7 through bootcamp

Yeah, this didn't help. After selecting that option, it starts to boot into windows, then I get a flash of the classic blue screen of death and then it takes me right back to the same screen informing me that the AppleSSD.sys file could not be verified. Blaaaah.

I think I'll try windows 8 and see what happens.

I tried that but couldn't dig up the file.

I think it comes from the bootcamp drivers, not the iso, so that age of the iso doesn't matter. We just need a bootable usb from before yesterday....

Windows 8 worked like a charm from start to finish.

Doesn't help the 7 problem though....

Could we pilfer the appleSSD.sys file from the windows 8 bootable?

Maybe what we need to do is roll back to an old version of bootcamp. It's apple's drivers causing the problem, not windows' install disk

You can try using the Apple folder under Bootcamp, but using Bootcamp.msi will also give you older BC drivers.

I have exactly the same problem, just an hour before the forum was opened here. I have found no older version of applessd.sys. My file has been renewed until this month by Apple. A colleague has installed until 1-2 months before Windows 7 on a MacBook Pro 15 Retina (we have no contact to this person)  without any problems. Disabeling the file signature checking doesn't work. I tried it first.

In my opinion, it is a harassment of Apple to banish the better Windows 7 from its computers.

Does nobody have a colleague, who has already installed Windows 7 a few months ago on a Macbook Pro 2013-2014 and can post us the older version of applessd.sys?

I WANT MY WINDOWS 7 !

You can find a Mac on Mavericks and and try to download the BC drivers and check versions.

Same issue here glad I found this thread. Trying to 7pro a fusion mac mini. thought the problem was related to my splitting of the fusion. unfortunately apple has not stepped in yet

same problem to me. Win 7 x64 won't work on my macbook pro retina 15. Disabling signature verification is not work too. How to be notified on progress of this problem?

Can anybody show how to delete .sys files, OS X doesn't want it!?

Found a applessd.sys from earlier Bootcamp 5.0.xxxx, but only 1 hour earlier date.

I can't change it for testing.

Download a Trial version of Paragon NTFS for Mac, and get readwrite access to the NTFS partition and delete files as necessary. Remember to uninstall Paragon otherwise Windows installer and OS X get confused.

So it is apple's problem on having an update for bootcamp which leads to the incompatibility of bootcamp with window 7?

I'm having a 15' macbook pro retina (mid 2014)
