Boot camp will not allow the installation of a Windows iso file on iMac Catalina

Quad Core i5 27" iMac, trying to install Windows 10 using Boot Camp. Error message states "Can’t install the software because it is not currently available from the Software Update server".

Any advice?

I can't install Bootcamp, Win 10 ISO issue. I have a MBP 16 2019. I am trying to install bootcamp. I downloaded Win10_1909_English_x64.iso and when I installed it, I kept getting this message. So I looked for help online and it said somewhere that ISO versions after May 2019 tend not to work. I've also tried to create an ISO file from a PC (same version though), copied to my Mac and still got the same message. I can't seem to find any answers for this issue for anyone after Oct 2019. Catalina OS seems to have a different Boot camp assistant as well.

It's a server issue that's been going on for hours.
