Q: Can't install Windows 10 Bootcamp due to Network Error

Hey guys!

I'm having problems with my mac. I've been trying to install Windows 10 on bootcamp since this morning and I'm stuck in the "Can't download the software because of a network problem". Did anyone encounter the same problem?

MacBook Pro with Retina display, OS X El Capitan (10.11.6), null

Can you use a wired (ethernet) connection to run BC Assistant?

My mac is hardwired. This is my 5th time and I'm still getting the same error.

Can you try https://github.com/timsutton/brigadier and check if this completes successfully with download? This will help you diagnose possible connectivity issues.

This problem is solved! I used the Windows 7 steps to install the Windows 10 in boot camp from this link https://support.apple.com/en-us/HT205016.

What is the year/model of your Mac? The link provides BC5 drivers, and W10 needs BC6 drivers. Did you install W7 and then upgrade to W10?
