MacOS – Issue installing Win 7 on Mac

bootcampmacoswindows

I have been following this answer to install Windows in Boot Camp.

Seemed to work absolutely fine until the command e:\setup in step 9. When this command is run "The subsystem needed to support the image type is not present." is returned.

setup.exe is available in the directory though.

I'm unsure on how to proceed from here, as it has been some years since I last fiddled under the hood of a windows product.

Any help is highly appreciated.

Worked out what the issue was. Double checked the specs of my machine and realised it was a mid 2007 model. Upon checking with Apple using the link in the linked answer I found the specific bootcamp file and that I had to use Win 7 32bit. Altering these files and using the correct disk image allows the installation to start.

Thanks for your help David.
