This is no big deal. You can easily install Windows without Bootcamp Assistant. Then use Apple's Bootcamp software from Apple's website.
First create a new partition for it in Disk Utility. Format probably doesn't matter as the Windows installer will reformat it anyway.
Boot into your Windows Install disk.
Format and install into the partition you made.
Now you have Windows installed. Now you just need the software and drivers.
Download the software from Apple's website.
Put it on a USB stick or something.
Install it.
.
The problem is:
Boot camp no longer automatically downloads drivers when creating the usb install stick.
Which means, when booting from it and going to the windows installation program, my keyboard&mouse don't work (probably due to missing usb3 driver). And yes, I mean my laptop touchpad&keyboard, not external ones (macbook air 13" 2014).

Soo... what now?

EDIT: Fixed. It won't work when booting from the USB manually (using alt when booting up),
but it will work when using boot camp install feature.
