error 2229 when installing bootcamp on Windows 7 32bit

 

apple are sloppy when they create their windows installer packages. you have to use the English format to be able to install bootcamp in Windows 7. change back to your preferred language after the install and you are good to go again.

 

boot camp 2.1 update: Error applying transforms.

this is was an irritating one.

boot camp 2.1 update fails because i am using a swedish version of windows vista.

to fix:

open up regedit and locate this key (the productkey kan vary):

change the Language REG_DWORD value to 409 hex.
