Apple Event: May 7th at 7 am PT
Hi, I made a bootable usb windows installer. When I set up Windows, I get to a part where I have to choose somewhere to install windows, but it nothing shows up.
MacBook Pro with Retina display, macOS Sierra (10.12.6)
whenever I try to install the windows support software, it comes up with an error.
I tried using brigader, but it comes up with this:
Couldn't find a Boot Camp ESD for the model 14,1 in the given software update catalog.

Can you post the exact Brigadier command used? My test works properly. In most cases, I have seen model name not being spelled correctly. My log for the download is ...
../brigadier -m MacBookPro14,1 -o ../MacbookPro14.1
Using Mac model: MacBookPro14,1.

Can you run a SMC Reset and check?
How to reset the System Management Controller (SMC) on your Mac - Apple Support
If that does not work, then you will need to take the Mac to an Apple Store and an AASP.
Since I have an older Mac, to get BC drivers for a Mac I do not have, I use the '-m' qualifier. Your command line does not use it, but that can be an issue.
In Terminal, can you use
/Users/bob/Downloads/brigadier-master/brigadier
with the 'exit;' part, so we can see what you get back this time.
Can you post the output of the highlighted command, without the serial number?

The 2017 Macs do not need to a USB installer. Can you follow the standard method of installation?
/Users/bob/Downloads/brigadier-master/brigadier ; exit;
I'm not sure if this is what you are looking for
Are you able to reach (ping) swcdn.apple.com ?
Yes I am able to. Also, what do you mean by the model name not being spelled correctly?
This is weird, for some reason it says my mac model that I'm using isn't a 14,1
Can't find any drives when choosing where to install Windows 10
