Here's something you should know before installing: (Thank you, Loner T, I see you everywhere, you were my saviour in this one). Make a backup of the Bootcamp files, as you don't want to download it again. After this, go to YourMac/Library/Application Support/Bootcamp/ and drop the DMG file there. The file is then renamed as 'WindowsSupport.dmg". So here was what I did:Īfter unzipping all the files into a single folder, I compressed them again into a DMG file, using Disk Utility. The manual part, I understood - what nobody explained, was what to do with this file after. The idea is to "manually" download the files that Bootcamp Assistant couldn't, which is possibly why it was forever stuck on 'Downloading Support Software'.

Then, at the stroke of midnight, after combining solutions I read in many threads, I have came up with a single dummy guide which I hope is useful to everyone who's hating Bootcamp right now. How am I supposed to run and install this, when Bootcamp Assistant can't even install Windows in the first place? I was an octopus flailing in the dark, with so many questions but so few answers, some which were clearly over-tech for me to implement. Many threads advised to manually download Bootcamp 5 software instead, but they failed to explain what should I use it for. This could either mean my USB wasn't formatted right, or my connection was slow period (it wasn't). The first problem was Bootcamp hanging forever on 'Downloading Support Software'. After one grueling day fighting with possibly every Bootcamp-related issue there is, I have finally installed Windows 7 on my brand new shiny iMac 27".īoot Camp - Setup was unable to create a new system om Windows installġ Billion Other Threads on "Downloading Support Software"
