Q: Boot Camp only supports Windows 7 or later installation on this platform. Please use an ISO file for Windows 7 or later installation.

Hello,

 

I have tried solving this for hours on end, hopefully someone can help me out.

 

I have downloaded the ISO file "Win10_1607_English_x64.iso" (4.29GB) and with it came an "info.plist" (2KB), so both of them are on my 64GB USB Drive (in format: MS-DOS (FAT32)) named "WINSTALL".

 

I have the ISO file on the USB, and it is selected as the ISO image in Boot Camp. I also have the USB selected as the destination disk, yet I get this error:

 

               Your bootable USB drive could not be created

               Boot Camp only supports Windows 7 or later installation on this platform. Please use an ISO file for Windows 7 or later installation.

 

I am currently running OS X El Capitan Version 10.11.6 on my iMac (21.5-inch, Late 2012) which is compatible with Windows 10.

 

If someone can help me I'd honestly love you so much, I've tried contacting Apple Support staff via phone, they said they can't do anything, I've tried contacting their Live Chat, but none of that helped fix the issue, and I've tried looking online, but can't find too much.

 

Thank you for any replies in advance!!

iMac, OS X El Capitan (10.11.6)

    Did you run the three commands after your latest download of the ISO? If yes, please post the output of the 'ls' and 'openssl' commands.

    Are they the same as what I posted, or are they the same as what you had last time before we started the download?

     

    Downloads from Microsoft do not check for block corruption. If the MD5sums are identical, then your ISO is not an issue.

     

    What USB brand/size/type drive are you using for the USB Installer?

    How is the USB connected to the Mac?

    The USB is a SanDisk Ultra USB 3.0 64GB, an is just plugged in the back of my Mac via the USB port.

    I've looked around and people talk about cleaning a drive, or something along them lines. I can get up to the bit where you choose the OS image to install, it's just nothing is there, and says make sure it's accessible.

    Do you have a USB2 flash drive which 8-16GB? Can you mount the ISO and check the ISO for a ".wim" file and the size of the file. This should be your WIM file.

     

    With the USB3 64 GB connected, can you post the output of

    It's August 23rd, 2016.  I just had this identical problem.  I came here to help find a solution, but ultimately solved the problem by deleting the ISO file I had downloaded and simply downloading it again.  The second time it worked fine.  Thought you might want to try that.
