Jul 9, 2015 5:43 PM in response to Loner Tby maged248,Today , when I replaced the mini display to VGA and VGA monitor with another thunderbolt apple monitor , Finaly I could install windows 7 pro using BC Assistant Normally ..
After complete installation and connect the Previous monitor with mini display to VGA .. it is working normally also...
Although if I used windows install USB disk or External DVD with mini display to VGA monitor ..I got the Black screen ..!!!
So , You have to use thunderbolt monitor during boot camp installation , NOT mini display to VGA and VGA monitor to avoid the black screen .
Do you have any clarification for this issue ??

Jul 9, 2015 6:40 PM in response to maged248by Loner T,★HelpfulThe graphics driver for the Intel Iris seems to be the issue. It should detect available interfaces and use the appropriate output. I had assumed all along that you had a TB monitor. Older Minis that I have seem to do this correctly. I have 2010/2011/2012 Minis and I have tested using both TB and HDMI and HDMI-to-DVI adapters.
As a test, if you want to try it, you can download the drivers for 2012 Mini from System requirements to install Windows on your Mac using Boot Camp - Apple Support and replace the IntelHDGraphics64 directory in $WinPEDriver$ directory and try the older drivers with the VGA connection.

Jan 28, 2016 12:14 PM in response to Loner Tby MacManOnix,I have the same issue with my Mac Mini (late 2014). VGA HP monitor and trying to install Win7 on it. I downloaded the 64 bit 2012 drivers and went to replace them in the $WinPEDriver$ directory, however, there was no "IntelHDGraphics64" directory in the $WinPEDriver$ directory on my USB drive. There was, however, a "IntelIVBGraphics64" directory there. I moved the old IntellVBGraphics64 folder to my desktop and then I copied over the IntelHDGraphics64 directory. That did not work so I renamed the HD one to the IVB one and that did not work either.
I am stuck...any ideas?

Jan 28, 2016 12:23 PM in response to MacManOnixby Loner T,If you are installing Windows 7, the entire $WinPEDriver$, AutoUnattend.xml and the Bootcamp folder should be replaced.
From Install Windows 7 and earlier on your Mac using Boot Camp - Apple Support, you will need to Download Boot Camp Support Software 5.1.5769
