Q: Can't install Windows 10 Pro with MSDN ISO in Boot Camp

I am trying to install Windows 10 Pro 64-bit on a MacBook Pro using Boot Camp (MacOS Sierra), but I get the following error:

 

"Need 64-bit Windows 10 or later ISO file."

 

Question: Do I need to use a specific ISO file?  I can only download the ISO below from Microsoft MSDN (contains Home and Pro editions, 64-bit, I am an MSDN subscriber).  It is not named "Win10_xxxx_english_x64.iso" and I didn't download it from https://www.microsoft.com/en-us/software-download/windows10ISO (which I found in another forum post).  Do I have to use that specific ISO file?

 

Thanks for any help or suggestions you can provide.

 

Specs:
