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

@Tooshy1054 i have followed what you have done since we have the same MPB and same USB issue. But for my i'm still unable to run setup.exe in bootcamp folder
hope there's a solution for me.
Vkiking,
Thank you for taking the time to post this. This along with the other post Pegatron helped me get my Windows 7 back.
Do you know which version of bootcamp should i download for macbook pro retina 15 (mid 2014)?
Loner T. I have tried both 32 and 64. I've also tried Professional, Home Premium and Ultimate. All give the same error. Next I will try Win 8 64 bit Enterprise.
For clarification, is the error related to AppleSSD.sys?
PS For Steps 6 & 7 in my post above, you should be booted in OSX to install the Paragon software so you can then copy over the folders as stated.
Apologies for missing this part 🙂
I'm not installing Windows 10... I am installing Windows 7. I used this exact same ISO, and had it installed before. This never happened until I upgraded to Yosemite.
Since you are using W7, can start a new discussion and post any error messages you see. Are you seeing the AppleSSD.sys errors for Windows 7? What year/model is your Mac?
Grande Ful28361 , hai risolto in modo eccellente un problema che stava mettendo in "crisi" me e gli altri utenti in rete , risolvendo l'errore AppleSSd.sys
Grazie ancora da pastore1972
I cannot find "BOOTCAMP/Windows/System32/Drivers" when I searched after installing Paragon. Is it located on the "untitled" partition, where Bootcamp is attempting to install Win7?
Yes. Please check.
What about AutoUnattend.xml ?
Should I use the the "old-version" from Boot Camp 5.xx for the stick or the new 6.xx one?
Both AutoUnattend.xml files work, but they are different.
Thanks in advance.
Thank you, you saved my life 🙂 it worked like a magic
Retain 15'' MBP, MID in 2014, same bug appears when I use the bootcamp to install windows 7 64bit , It can't be fix now, no way.
