How to reinstall bootcamp assistant

Hi,

Just looking to see if you could help me as well. I was stupid and tried to change my bootcamp file and it got more complicated as I went on. Anyways, I tried the

sudo codesign -fs - /Applications/Utilities/Boot\ Camp\ Assistant.app

command and received

/Applications/Utilities/Boot Camp Assistant.app: replacing existing signature

/Applications/Utilities/Boot Camp Assistant.app: code object is not signed at all

In subcomponent: /Applications/Utilities/Boot Camp Assistant.app/Contents/Info copy

Then I tried

sudo codesign -fs --deep - /Applications/Utilities/Boot\ Camp\ Assistant.app

and received

--deep: no identity found

If you know of a solution, or a process to get me back to where I began it would be very helpful!!!

I read that all I needed to change was

1. Add my model to Supported model

2. Add my DARequiredRomModels

3. Delete "Pre" from UEFIModels and add mine

4. Delete "Pre" from USBBootSupportedModels and add mine

So if when it asks me if I'm sure that i want to use this USB drive it won't be lost? I only have one port on the mac for a usb stick so if use it i don't want to mess up and have to rebuy the product.

I have a MacBook Air and I changed the coding for bootcamp. I put "Pre" before "USBBootSupportedModels</key> and Boot wouldn't open and it said "Boot Camp Assistant quit unexpectedly." I read the report and it said "coding error". How do I fix it

There is no supported method other than a remove and re-install.

From Boot Camp 5.1: Frequently asked questions - Apple Support

Can I resize the Windows partition after installing Windows?

No. Back up your important files, then use Boot Camp Assistant to delete the old partition and create a new one.

But, if you do plan to resize anyway, you can shrink the OSX partition, resize the Windows appropriately and use Testdisk and GPT Fdisk to reconcile the GPT and MBR.

Please see Help - Windows partition has vanished after OSX updates. as an example for using the two tools.

MacbookAir will support Windows installation using an external Optical drive or USB. You should not need to modify the Bootcamp info.plist.

1. What year is the MBA?

2. If you run BCA, what are the default options before you modified the Info.plist?

3. You can either re-install OSX from Local Recovery (Command+R during boot), or restore OSX from Time Machine backup or re-install the shipped version of OSX. Please see OS X: About OS X Recovery - Apple Support for details.

Can you check the permissions on the file? This is what it should be for an unchanged file (these commands are run from OSX Terminal).

ls -l /Applications/Utilities/Boot\ Camp\ Assistant.app/Contents/Info.plist

-rw-r--r-- 1 root wheel 3202 May 16 08:42 /Applications/Utilities/Boot Camp Assistant.app/Contents/Info.plist

openssl md5 /Applications/Utilities/Boot\ Camp\ Assistant.app/Contents/Info.plist

Dear!!

I just have changed my Boot camp Info.plist to make it support making USB installing drives on my Mac, after i changed Info.plist Boot camp crashes and then it didn't run after several attempts, then after searching for solutions i open terminal and write the code sudo codesign -fs - /Applications/Utilities/Boot\ Camp\ Assistant.app, then it appears as /Applications/Utilities/Boot Camp Assistant.app: replacing existing signature. After that i still can't open my boot camp assistant app, every time i try to open it, a message pop up like, "Boot Camp Assistant can't be open error -1712

I'am beginner here using Macbook Pro 13,, OSX 10.9.4 Mavericks

P.S Help me in his regards if you can, I'll be thaksfull to you :-|😟

It looks like after your code-signed, the application is running, and you are trying got start a second instance. Can you check Applications -> Utilities -> Activity Monitor and enter 'boot' in the top right hand search box which looks like a magnifying glass. Does it return any information? If yes, click on it and Force Quit the application.

Thanks for you Response!! I did the same as you said, Activity Monitor returns some information about boot camp assistant I click on it and force quit the app.

But I'am not wording about how to quit that app, I am struggling to open it genuinely..

P.S Let me help to open my Boot Camp Assistant app..

Macbook Pro 13, OSX 10.9.4

Hi, I've had the same experience, but then I have copied the backup info.plist replacing edited one and run sudo codesign -fs - /Applications/Utilities/Boot\ Camp\ Assistant.app command into Terminal. Now Boot Camp Assistant is working!

1. Open terminal from: Applications>Utilities>Terminal

2. Type in this code: sudo codesign -fs - /Applications/Utilities/Boot\ Camp\ Assistant.app

Expected result: /Applications/Utilities/Boot Camp Assistant.app: replacing existing signature

3. Enter your password and press enter

4. Reopen bootcamp.

it'll work 😀
