Windows cannot locate the disk and partition specified in the unattend answer file's setting.

Recently I've bought a new iMac (Retina 5K, 27-inch, 2017) mac os high sierra 10.13.1 and I tried to install windows 10 using an ISO image and bootcamp.
I try many method such as delete mac os and install again , but it still not work.I know that Editing the XML file for the answer system can solve the problem, but how? As you know in this version of iMac no USB stick is used to install Windows and I cannot find where macOS stores the files created by bootcamp for installing windows.Please help me fix this issue.

iMac with Retina 5K display, macOS High Sierra (10.13.1), windows

Disconnect all external storage.
Run the two resets - SMC and NVRAM.
Remove the current partition using BC Assistant Restore/Remove.
Re-run BC Assistant and try to install Windows.
