boot camp installation hangs at realtek audio stepSearch or ask a question

I am trying to install boot camp for win 7 home prem 64 bits on Mac Pro laptop. The boot camp installer is hanging at the Realtek audio step. I tried other versions of boot camp, version 4.0.4326 and it complained that it did not support this system. I tried version 5.0.5033 and it complained that it did not support 64 bit. Any suggestions?

MacBook Pro with Retina display, OS X Mavericks (10.9.1)

I found a solution, when the installation hangs at realtek audio:

1. DO NOT turn it off

2. go to your bootcamp folder, manually install the realtek driver, DO NOT restart

3. after manully setup, open Task Manage, and kill the "RealtekSetup" process

4. bootcamp will skip the Realte, and have fun

Many thanks. I have run into several roadblocks installing Windows 10 in El Capitan with Boot Camp. One would expect that Apple would have released a new version of Boot Camp with this fix by now.
