New MBP 15", Windows installation fails with error 0x80070570 or 0x80070570D

Hey guys!

I finally got a new MBP a few weeks ago, and I wanted to install a Windows partition for some games. I have tried this with several different windows copies (both legal and illegal, and both of windows 7 and windows 8), but to none avail. The exact error message I keep getting is:

Windows 7:

"Windows cannot install required files. The file may be corrupt or mossing. Make sure all files required for installation are available, and restart the application. Error code: 0x80070570"

Windows 8:

"Windows cannot install required files. Make sure all files required for installation are available, and restart the application. Error code: 0x80070570D"

Any help will be greatly appreciated!

MacBook Pro (Retina, 15-inch, Late 2013), OS X Mavericks (10.9.1)

Re download fresh ISOs (where did you get the current ones?) and let OSX put the ISOs on the USB (vs doing it in Windows)

I've let the bootcamp utility put the disk images on the USB. As I mentioned before, I got the Windows installation images through various legal and illegal sources and made several attempts with each and evere disk image, so that should not be the cause.

Fair except that you're getting the same file missing error with two different OS installs so if your ISO source(s) are the same, that could easily be the issue.
