Windows 7 RC Without Wired Peripherals

[mogtl]

Have downloaded and burned both 32/64bit versions in case of driver support issues.

As I custom configured my iMac, I only have wireless keyboard/ wireless mighty mouse.

Is it possible to go through a windows 7 RC install without wired peripherals? ie, is the bluetooth initiated during the install process?

No, and good luck getting the bluetooth mouse/keyboard to pair in W7RC. I'm having major issues and had to break out my old $10 backup usb keyboard and mouse.

I have installed Windows 7 RC on my iMac (2.0 GHz, Mid 2007) using Bluetooth keyboard and mouse.
The installer recognised them without any problems, so I could type in the product key and select options.

Maybe I am lucky.

The same thing happened to me. I was really surprised that my Bluetooth mouse worked during the installation. When the installation was done it didn't work untill I installed the Logitech software... strange

I installed Win 7 RC on my Mac Mini with bluetooth apple keyboard/mouse no problem, however beware of installing bootcamp software/drivers after (which I only did to fix sound) as this appears to cause big problems to bluetooth, after many hours & searching these forums I have got it all working though, so take a look at the thread if you run into the same problem!

Thanks for the feedback. Will attempt to install.
