Apple Event: May 7th at 7 am PT
I am trying to install Windows 10 from ISO file on my macbook pro 2016 but after installing windows support softwares and creating the partition; it says that bootcamp is quitting unexpectedly
Please help.
MacBook Pro with Retina display, macOS Sierra (10.12.2)
Has this happened on more than one attempt? Do you have any external storage connected to the Mac?
Yes it has happened more than one time.
After this error if I run bootcamp so it asks me to remove the partition and restore the original partition
If i run it again then it asks me to run disk utility
After i run disk utility or I restart it and run boot camp again it repeats the whole procedure again
No external storage connected
Before your next attempt at Windows installation, please run the following two procedures and test.
Reset the System Management Controller (SMC) on your Mac - Apple Support
How to reset NVRAM on your Mac - Apple Support
There are other workarounds.
Okay let me try these and get back to you.
What do you think the issue is ?

After we peel the first layer of onion, we wipe the tears in our eyes, and continue crying till the onion is fully disassembled. 😉
In other words, this is the first step, and no guessing will help at this stage.
Haha thanks ! Let me get back to you with these tests.
Ran the tests but still facing the same issue.
Do you have a USB flash drive of 8+GB?
We can bypass BC Assistant and you can manually install Windows using the USB. Creating USB installer is fairly straightforward.
From the OS X side, use BC Assistant and the Action -> Download... option to download BC drivers for your Mac. Copy the entire contents of the ISO to this USB. This is your USB Installer.
Create a FAT32 partition using Disk Utility. Now you can boot from the the USB using Alt/Option, choose the FAT32 partition, format it as needed, and instal Windows. If you run into any issues, please post any error messages.
Okay will try this method but one thing I would like to mention is that BC automatically starts to download softwares once I select the folder for my ISO and set partition sizes.
Once downloading and installation of softwares is complete it gives BC quit error
So will it give me a separate option to download support drivers ?
Having this exact same issue. I've tried multiple ISO images as well. On most recent ISOs, bootcamp crashes before reboot - reboot starts Windows install properly but error when copying Windows files because the target partition is never created.
On another ISO - the partition is created but theres an immediate crash on Windows installer launch with EFI issues. I'm trying backup USB now.

There are two partitions on 2015 and later Macs, which get used.
OSXRESERVED - contains the BC drivers and contents of the ISO. This is a replacement for the traditional USB installer.
FAT32 partition - this is the designated Windows destination which is formatted after being selected from FAT32 to NTFS before installation starts.
Now, which partition is not being created?
Reference - https://help.apple.com/bootcamp/assistant/6.0/#/bcmp09f5f773
Getting this error while creating partition :
Running operation 1 of 3…
Checking prerequisites for resizing Logical-Physical volume stack
This operation couldn’t proceed because the target’s boot helper was mounted; you may want to try again.
Operation failed…
Bootcamp error quitting unexpectedly
