Boot Camp only supports Windows 7 or later installation on this platform. Please use an ISO file for Windows 7 or later installation.

What Version of OSX do you have?? This site gives the Bootcamp requirements: System requirements to install Windows on your Mac using Boot Camp - Apple Support. And did you do a upgrade?? It might of been that the upgrade didnt go correctly for the OS?

Looking at the Windows 10 version you have downloaded, its the anniversay update, which was released less than a month ago. It could be that Apple is not reconisgin the Windows version when reading the disk, as it is too new. Dont know if you have access to download the previous build and do a Windows update??

I have downloaded the ISO file "Win10_1607_English_x64.iso" (4.29GB) and with it came an "info.plist" (2KB), so both of them are on my 64GB USB Drive (in format: MS-DOS (FAT32)) named "WINSTALL".

I have the ISO file on the USB, and it is selected as the ISO image in Boot Camp. I also have the USB selected as the destination disk, yet I get this error:

Your bootable USB drive could not be created

There is no info.plist that comes with the ISO. The ISO file cannot be on the USB, because BCA tries to erase and format the USB and you have the ISO open from the same device. This is why your USB Installer cannot be created.

Download the appropriate ISO file to your Documents folder, and point to it when prompted by BC Assistant. Allow BCA to format/erase the USB flash drive. Do not connect any external peripheries till windows is full installed (except the USB Installer flash drive, only when prompted).

Currently re-installing OS X, as that's that some support staff told me.

This is very useful and I shall follow it once the install is complete!

Did this suggestion come from Apple Technical Support? 👿

Yup. I've been told so many different 'solutions' from support, all have said that where the ISO is etc are fine, and never questioned the plist.info.

Just out of interest, where did you download the Windows 10 ISO from and whats it size?

A very strange suggestion from Support. My ISO file shows the following. I have installed this release on about 10 Macs in the last couple of days.

I believe, and about 4.29 GB I think, not at home currently.

Is strange. The message you have also said Windows 7 or higher, which it is. Which bring me back to the anniversary version being so new. Apple might not know the build number yet. Are there any updates to the Mac OS?

The info.plist is a windows file, it is used by the Mac OS so this wouldn't have anything to do with it. The ISO is the entire install file for windows, so thats all you need to install the OS usually.

My Mac is completely up-to-date on everything. And thanks for the info on the plist.info, that's handy! :-)

4h 30m left of this install. I'll check back once it's complete.

Plist files are MAC OSX files and contain Information Properties as documented in Developer Documentation InfoPlistKeyReference . Windows equivalent is a Global Registry Hive, unlike plists which are per application files.

ISO file from Microsoft is a CD/DVD image.

So, put the ISO in documents (or wherever), delete anything on the USB and try that?

Yes. Please ensure the USB is formatted a MBR/FAT32 device or let BC Assistant erase/format it.

My OS X is now fully wiped and fresh. I have no files on the USB, and I placed the ISO file on my Desktop. I selected the ISO image on BCA to the ISO on my Desktop and selected the destination disk as my USB, yet I still get the same error. Help? :/

Is the ISO file mounted? With the USB connected to the Mac, from OSX Terminal, please post the output of
