Please remove AppleSSD64 directory from $WinPEDriver$ from your USB installer and retry.

My assumption was you are trying to install Windows. If you have an existing Windows installation which is failing, please download Paragon NTFS for Mac Trial version. Once you install it, it will give you read-write access from OS X to Windows. Delete the file on C: in the directory you see in the error message. Once it is deleted, uninstall Paragon software, and then reboot. and test Windows and test switching between OS X and Windows.
