Post back, if you still run into issues.

Mar 16, 2015 8:00 AM in response to Loner Tby appleexpert1,Yes I do the problem is unless you create a shortcut to run as a user you can't open it. The other issue is the startup disk tab is never an option. You just can't reboot into Mac OS from Windows unless you do a restart and hold the option button.

Mar 16, 2015 8:12 AM in response to appleexpert1by Loner T,When the Boot Camp drivers are installed, they are installed for all users silently, because it is done as a part of the Windows installation, before any user accounts have been created.
The following snippet is from the AutoUnattend.xml on the USB Installer. See the highlighted part. This is from a W8 USB Installer built using BCA and an W8.1 64-bit ISO.

Can you check your Windows Installer USB for this file? You may not have one for W7 64-bit. This is what I have on a W7 USB.

Mar 16, 2015 9:11 AM in response to Loner Tby appleexpert1,I was think and maybe this doesn't matter but this is the pattern of how this all went down.
I had a Macbook Pro 2010 with bootcamp windows 7 64bit and Mac os 10.10 installed on a SSD. I then got a different Macbook Pro 2012 moved the drive to that one. I had to do a clean install of Windows 7 64bit this error started then. I then decided to do a fresh install of Mac Os as well. So maybe I need to do a fresh install on both at the same time. So a fresh install of Mac and then create a bootcamp with windows 7 64bit. Thoughts?

The initial silent install for all users failed. . But good to know a potential work-around. Thanks.

Mar 16, 2015 9:18 AM in response to appleexpert1by Loner T,The Control Panel issue is specific to Windows. Yosemite re-installation may not change the behavior.
