Boot Camp "the installer disc could not be found"

Question

Hi guys, i have a base model 15" Retina Macbook Pro without any upgrade, running 10.7.4.

Im trying to install windows 7 64-bit.

When partioning the hardrive, it comes up with the error

"the installer disc could not be found"

I have tried burning Windows 7 onto multiple discs at different rates but none of them work.

These discs have been the 64-bit version of windows.

However, on my 32-bit version, also burned onto the same type disc, it works perfectly, but I want 64-bit OS.

Anyone have any solution?

Thanks.

See if Windows 8 RP x64 works as an experiment.

Usually slowest burn speed will.

I am assuming that smething changed but there are I presume a number of other people who have, and folks with new MacBook Air too.
