PROBLEMS SOLVED!!!

Has the same problems. Before the messagge" applessd.sys etc.etc.", deleted the applessd.sys but non solve the problem becaus "Im having the same KB/Mouse issues. After removing the AppleSSD.sys files, I was able to get through most of the installation (with Wireless USB KB & Mouse working just fine). After restarting and getting to the Set Up Windows screen, to enter Username & Computer name Mouse and KB no longer work. I tried unplugging and replugging in to the back of my computer (27" iMac - 5k Retina mid 2015) but no changes"

I am using 27" iMac - 5k Retina and installing Windows 7 Professional. I bought product key and have tried to install it for days.

SUCCESS AT LAST!! Here's what you need: Windows 7 image, a USB 2.0 flash drive , and the Boot Camp drivers 5.1.5769 that i find in this link: Boot Camp Support Software 5.1.5769 . They are hardware specific and available for download somewhere on the Apple Site. Here's what I did:

Using Boot Camp Assistant, prepare the USB flash drive. Select the first two items and prepare the disk. Quit Boot Camp Assistant.
From the Finder, delete the $WinPE$ and Boot Camp folders from the FLASH DRIVE.
Expand the old Boot Camp drivers 5.1.5769 (two folders and another file) on your desktop.
Copy the $WinPE$ and Boot Camp folders to the FLASH DRIVE.
Reopen Boot Camp Assistant and select only the third option, install Windows 7.
Sit back and relax as the installation proceeds.

Now the windows recognized my keyboard and mouse. The installation successufly. Perfect!

I hope this help will resolve your problem

I got this error after re-downloading the Windows files and copying to USB.

'The Finder can’t complete the operation because some data in “license.rtf” can’t be read or written.

(Error code -36)'

Any help?

Hi Loner T, hopefully i've got the right part of the file for you. It does reference the AppleSSD.sys file

It all boils down to this one file not being digitally signed by Apple. So windows freaks out. I too called Apple and they blamed Microsoft. But yes, I am also having this same problem.
