Installing Windows 10 via Boot Camp Assistant help

Hi, I'm on MBP 15" 2018 - trying to install Windows 10 64bit through boot camp assistant.

It partitions ok, downloads help software and the like - then a final Mac pop up of enter your password appears right at the end then says boot camp failed to install all files.

After a restart I see the boot camp partition is there, but it's completely empty.

When I run the boot camp assistant again, it forces me to merge the drive again and remove the partition - back to square one.

I got the ISO from the software-download.microsoft.com site.

Any help GREATLY appreciated!

MacBook Pro w/ Touch Bar (2018 or later)

If you are using W10 1809 (October), use W10 1803 (April) ISO instead and retry.
