Can't install BootCamp on Macbook Pro 15" 2017

Running High Sierra on 15" Macbook Pro 2017 with Touch Bar.


I've tried 600 different threads and 500 different fixes. For some reason I'm not figuring out what I need to do to install Windows with Boot Camp. I get the usual "An error occurred while partitioning the disk. Please run Disk Utility to check and fix the error" and I read that was happening with High Sierra's new APFS format.


I've deleted local snapshots as per another guide.

I tried this guide and everything ran smoothly until I got "your PC has run into a problem" on the Windows install page. I thought an EFI boot would override the BCA partitioning trouble but there must have been some kind of corruptions and I have no brain to troubleshoot it.


This is the output of

diskutil list


/dev/disk0 (internal):
   #:                       TYPE NAME                    SIZE       IDENTIFIER
   0:      GUID_partition_scheme                         251.0 GB   disk0
   1:                        EFI EFI                     314.6 MB   disk0s1
   2:                 Apple_APFS Container disk1         250.7 GB   disk0s2

/dev/disk1 (synthesized):

   3:                APFS Volume Recovery                1.0 GB     disk1s3
   4:                APFS Volume VM                      1.1 GB     disk1s4

The Product Version from bootcamp.xml is 6.1.6851.


diskutil repairDisk disk0 finds no problems.

sudo fsck_apfs -n -l /dev/rdisk1 comes up with this:

but then says that the disk appears to be OK.


Only thing I can think of is erasing my entire disk and reformatting to HFS but surely there has to be another way.


Thanks in advance.
