you do not have to use Xcode to edit info.plist , it is simple XML file, any text editor will do, just add the tags as shown in the video. This instruction worked for me btw, thanks a lot!

Omg thank you so much this was so stressful.I have been doing this all day first theirs a issue with the usb drive and that took me hours next I don’t the first option so I came to this video and watched another one at the same time.And finally everything is here.Thank you so much you earned a new subscriber and a like.

OMFG THANK YOU SO MUCH!!! No other source have given information about this problem! Thank you again! :D

Worked like a charm, thank you so much! This rescued me from days of agonizing...

YES!!! This ACTUALLY worked! Finally! Thank you!

Worked great, thank you! and the comments helped also.

Clear and crisp, thank you!

It worked! THANK YOU! YOU'RE A GENIUS!

Thanks for this video, worked great with El Capitan as long as you shut off Rootless System Integrity b4 pasting the files.

Thanks for the great video dude helped a lot :)

You are simply amazing! Thank you so much!! :)

Thanks. At first I couldn't copy and replace the file, but it worked after disabling SIP

Thank you so much dude! It worked for me.

It works! Thank you so much broo, life savior !

Thank you pal now i can install windows 8 to my old mac !!!!

thank you i did this when I had problems and it worked. 1) Restart mack and either hold down CMD+R or the ALT (option) button after the chime to go into Recovery Mode. 2) Once Booted, click on Utilities menu at the top of the screen and select Terminal. 3) Type in: "csrutil disable; reboot" without quotes and hit Enter. If everything was done correctly, the system will reboot. You will now be able to paste the list file without any problems. 4) To get system protection back, do the same thing as above, but type in "csrutil enable; reboot" without quotes.

Worked for me! Thanks!

Thank you so much for the video! It really helped... I used text edit and took info from Jens comments and had to disable.. I would have downloaded and burned it but.... my burner is shot... smh... thanks again guys!

Sir really thanks you are great to help thoes who has no idea :)

Thanks, helped ALOT!

with text edit it worked thanks again

damn spend almost 4 hours on this shit with other useless videos. Worked like a charm thanks!

You are the man! Thanks!

Very nice... Take care if you are running El captain, because Apple introduced System Integrity Protection, also known as "rootless", with OS X 10.11 and higher. This would "block" you to modify the plist, or replace it. Use the command "csrutil disable" via the Recovery terminal to disable this SIP protection... Then you can reboot and modify the "content" folder to apply to you the rights to modify the plist. That was the only thing missing on this video. Everywhere else on the Internet they forget to remove the "pre" word on the "preUSB..." line... That was my mistake. Thanks :D ( I was running a MacBookPro 8,2)

Thanks mate that helped me

This is great stuff. In case you also struggle with System Integrity Protection that prevents copying the modified Info.plist into the application, I figured that instead of disabling System Integrity Protection I just copy Boot Camp Assistant to the Desktop and the apply the modified Info.plist to that clone and then start the clone of Boot Camp Assistant from the Desktop.

Dude thank you so much youre the best finally i could install Windows :D Whats the name of the song? you sayed you would link it in the discription :P

I don't know if this will help, but I copied Boot Camp on to my desktop. After that I was able to save the plist file with "pre-" removed from the same desktop app content file. I opened Boot Camp app (the desktop copy) and it let me create a bootable Windows disk. Now I am still unable to successfully create a bootable USB drive because Boot Camp only allows 64-bit Windows.

For those of you that are having trouble pasting the list into the content folder, you must disable Rootless System Integrity. To do this, follow the instructions below: 1) Restart mack and either hold down CMD+R or the ALT (option) button after the chime to go into Recovery Mode. 2) Once Booted, click on Utilities menu at the top of the screen and select Terminal. 3) Type in: "csrutil disable; reboot" without quotes and hit Enter. If everything was done correctly, the system will reboot. You will now be able to paste the list file without any problems. 4) To get system protection back, do the same thing as above, but type in "csrutil enable; reboot" without quotes. Hope this helps.

Hi, I am trying to download Windows 8.1 on my iMac 2011. When going to installation of windows it is giving me an error "Windows cannot be installed to this disk. The selected disk has an MBR partition table. On EFI systems, Windows can only be installed GPT disks". I have 2 hard drives one SSD which has OS X on it and other one is 3TB HD and its blank. i tried downloading on both but doesn't work. Need some help. Thanks

Issues and how to solve: Q: Having a problem to replace the Info.plist? A: Stop trying to replace, just copy the Boot Camp app to another location, then you open the package, the contents folder, replace the Info.plist and use this app, not the original Mac's app. Q: The Boot Camp now shows the option to choose the ISO but I can't make progress with Win10. A: Open the Info.plist inside the Boot Camp package, find the SupporedNonWin10Models entry, look for the string that point to your device model and remove it.

worked nice!!!

You are amazing

I've followed the steps in the video but when reopening it still does not boot camp is "Create a Windows 7 install disk or laste version". I am used Mac Os X 10.7.5 - 1983-2012 Macbook pro 8,1. Please help me!

DArequiredROMversions is not there in xcode as an option so should i skip pasting the "boot rom version into xcode ?

Worked for me in 2018 :O

In High Sierra DARequiredROMVersions is now called CFBundleSupportedPlatforms

Will it still work if I edit the plist file with PlistEdit Pro and not Xcode?

un très grand merci. ca fonctionne. il ne me reste plus qu'a installer windows !

When I open info.plist, there is no item named PreUSBBootSupportedModels as shown in the video. Does anyone know how I fix this? At this point I am thinking perhaps I should restore my 2011 Macbook Pro to factory default?

How did you get the Xcode application ? for me its asking the OS X has to be 10.11 or later and I have 10.10.5. Even I dont have the update on App store. Is it just me ??

worked perfectly

VERY BIG THANK YOU!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! :)

I am unable to move the edited "info.plist" in to the contents folder. "Paste Item" is not an option when i attempt to move the file

Utter legend x

I edited info.plist with TextEdit, I cannot download Xcode because Mac Os X version 10.11 or later is requiredrequired.

Thank you!

So how do you do it with text edit? Can't use Xcode!,,

Love yaaa!

HI there, Followed your instructions thoroughly, but after I replace the original info.plist with the new one, then go to open Boot Camp Assistant a error message pops up saying it quit unexpectedly. Appreciate any help! Thanks!

LizardTown Full solution: 1. Add your Boot Rom Version(from system info) under DARequiredROMVersions.2. Add Model Identifier(from system info) under PreUSBBootSupportedModels3. Delete "Pre" from "PreUSBBootSupportedModels", so you have "USBBootSupportedModels" The first 3 steps are same as before and if its not clear you can easily google solutions with screenshots.The next step is only for OSX 10.9, as it employs some kind of code signature to prevent you from changing info.plist and cause bootcamp to crash. 4. Open your terminal, use the following commandsudo codesign -fs - /Applications/Utilities/Boot\ Camp\ Assistant.app Sudo means using administrator privilege and u need to enter your mac password. And the command resigns the bootcamp application so that it runs with the new info.plist file and not crash. 5. Continue on with your installation.... Cheers.

Okay so trying to install bootcamp but boot camp assist doesn't give me not the option to run from ISO file only cd but then I can't disable csrutil because I need to boot mac in recovery mode to do so when I do this it comes up with prohibitory symbol .... Help

Bootcamp will not open now. Could this be that my computer is too old to do this?

same problem :L i feel like it had something to do with editing with the text (because i can't use xcode either) how did u edit the text?

The problem is that after I have modified the info.plist file I am unable to replace the original in the Bootcamp Assistant application. There is no paste function that appears and if I make a copy of the Bootcamp Assistant application and update that and then try copying to Utilities folder to overwrite original I get an message telling me that "Boot Camp Assistant" can't be modified or deleted because it's required by OS X. SO I am stumped here. Does anyone have a solution to this?

Hi I'm not able to paste the info.plist into contents folder. it is unable to paste anything in contents on my mac! please help

thank you bro

You're my fucking hero.

will this boot on a windows based pc or is it only bootable on an apple based computer?

For those of you that do not support windows 10. Go to the pewindows10only slot in Xcode, add your MB ID, delete "pre", and it should switch for windows 7 or 8 to windows 7 or later

For anyone on Macbook Pro mid-2010 (MacbookPro 7,1 in this parlance) who is stuck seeing "Create a Windows 7 Install Disk" only and does not see "Windows 7 or Later" you will need to also add your model identifier, i.e. “MacbookPro7,1” on - PreESDRequiredModels - PreUEFIModels - USBBootSupportedModels. AND delete the “Win7OnlyModels” section.

yeah so in the tutorial you are show that you have to update info.plist file in Xcode. In the demo you only have to change the model identifier but if you are having the same problem as me you also have to update the other fields i mentioned: - PreESDRequiredModels - PreUEFIModels - USBBootSupportedModels. AND also delete the “Win7OnlyModels” section. then restart everything as a precaution and you should be up and running.

Clear and full solution: 1. Add your Boot Rom Version(from system info) under DARequiredROMVersions.2. Add Model Identifier(from system info) under PreUSBBootSupportedModels3. Delete "Pre" from "PreUSBBootSupportedModels", so you have "USBBootSupportedModels" The first 3 steps are same as before and if its not clear you can easily google solutions with screenshots.The next step is only for OSX 10.9, as it employs some kind of code signature to prevent you from changing info.plist and cause bootcamp to crash. 4. Open your terminal, use the following command in the bracket remember DO NOT include the brackets (sudo codesign -fs - /Applications/Utilities/Boot\ Camp\ Assistant.app) then type in your password, here you won't see the characters when you type your password, so just type it and press return. Sudo means using administrator privilege and u need to enter your mac password. And the command resigns the bootcamp application so that it runs with the new info.plist file and not crash. 5. Continue on with your installation.... VOILA.
