“Your bootable USB Drive could not be created” Boot Camp error

Every time I use Bootcamp to install WIndows 10, I get this error:

“Your bootable USB Drive could not be created”

Steps I have tried to fix the problem:

1) Downloading the ISO directly from Microsoft

2) Downloading the older Anniversary ISO (as recommended by Microsoft)

3) Converting the ISO to DMG and then to ISO (as recommended here)

4) Using Mac recovery mode to do a permissions scan (as recommended here)

5) Using a different USB drive.

System:

OS: 10.12.5 (16F73)

MacBook Pro (Retina, 15-inch, Mid 2015) - MacBookPro11,5

MacBook Pro (Retina, 15-inch, Mid 2015), macOS Sierra (10.12.1)

That worked perfectly thanks! Now that it's all set up can I risk creating a second partition on the Mac part of the drive? Thanks!

Actually after I installed via bootcamp I was able to partion the mac drive and install another copy of MacOsx. It all seems to be working fine now. Thanks so much for your help! 🙂
