I just downloaded it yesterday and then burning the stuff onto a disc didn't work since Boot Camp didn't recognize it. How do I install it? The install file is an exe file.
Got a tip for us?

Well you can try virtual box, VMware fusion, or parallels, I just finished installing windows 7 beta 32 bit on VMware fusion and it works fine, so I recommend vmware fusion also if you dont have the key go here lifehacker has a nice little article about it good luck! Also if you downloaded the wrong thing lifehacker has some nice articles to help you also comment.

It worked! I used ImageBurner to burn it into an ISO image to a disc and it still worked. Thanks.
I'd suggest having vista on with the bootcamp drivers installed, then put 7 over the top of that, everything should work perfectly that way

Problem: I burned the ISO disc through disk utility, ran boot camp, through in 32 bit windows 7 beta disc, comes up with error 0xc00000e9 I/O error, the only thing that is plugged into my new MacBook unibody is the power cord. I can't get back to the mac OS x operating system, it will only allow me to keep on trying to reboot after I power down and then power up.
Any guesses or help will be greatly appreciated
