Okay, so where am I going wrong here? Check out attached picture. Note that the Windows 7 .ISO is in the USB Folder (named WININSTALL) I'm unsure why I can't continue. I had followed Bootcamp's instructions and checked all three boxes to make sure I had the Windows Update and Windows 7 Install created onto my USB, then this message pops up (reference picture of Bootcamp)

You need to place the Windows 7 iso (which should be bootable if you correctly created it) on the USB flash drive. Since you have no optical drive, the flash drive method will work.
