This is my second attempt at posting to the board.
I have made several attempts to install Windows on 10.13.6 Updated on my new MacBook Pro.
The last attempt aborted after the Windows installation step with an error of being unable to update the boot sector. I disabled SIP and T2 boot limits, but that did not change.
Did this work for anybody? How?
WinClone also failed.
My colleague found a Windows 10 x64 version 1803 that works. Install Parallels and download a Windows 10 ISO using it, in other words, download the Parallels Windows 10 ISO. We used that ISO in Boot Camp on two separate MBP 2018 i9 successfully.
with 1803 i got "An error occured while copying the Windows Installation files" on 2017 and 2018 macs. i will try retail versions. HaraldS i will be waiting for your feedback about downgrading from beta.
On another forum, folks are reporting problems running 1803 on the MacBook Pro 2018. This is not with the installation, but instability after.
Tried it again.
The exact error is in the last phase of the install and states that "Windows could not update the computer's boot configuration. Installation cannot proceed." This is headlined that any Changes made to the computer cannot be saved.
There is no partitioning error. Firstly i tried install with iso on external device. Other times moved iso file to mac then removed external drive before installation. Same error everytime. I tried to start mac with internet recovery, with disk utility done repartition then reinstall mac os. 🙂 Same error again at the end.
Got the same issue. Got two new MacBook Pro 2018 i9 for work and tried installing Windows 10 x64 version 1607 on both using Boot Camp but they all fail at the end saying they were unable to update the boot sectors.
We tried wiping the entire partitions and reinstalling OSX fresh but it didn't help.
I talked with someone at Apple Support and they created a support ticket after I reproduced the problem for them and collected data.
Planning on a ticket later today, when I get time for the system report etc.
Wish they'd provide feedback for the effort at a later time. Apple is not rewarding in that regard. It will probably just get closed as a duplicate.
This thing has a lot of issues...
This looks fixed in Mojave beta 6.
I just cloned my High Sierra partition and installed Mojave in a new container.
I did use an earlier version of Windows that worked on my MacBook Pro mid 2012 - still the Golden Standard.
I will load it under VMware to upgrade to the latest versions and install IDEs etc.
Already tried these a few times. I need to install windows on internal disk.
Do you see a partitioning error or an installation error? Do you have any external storage and/or peripherals connected to the Mac during the installation?
Same error;
SW_DVD9_Win_Pro_10_1607.1_64BIT_English_MLF_X21-26989
Already did it, it shows My usb bootable media and i can boot with it.
Well, then the problem is not quite like mine.
A colleague said that Boot Camp doesn't support the latest W10 version, but I can download the iso and report back the result.
Now BCA fails with the error message: An error occured while copying the Windows Installation files.
So my question back to you is: What are you basing your recommendation on since 1803 fails?
Strange, we got the 1607 working on our 2017 but had issues with later versions. That's why we started out testing the 1607 on the new 2018. In any case, the error in BCA caused by 1803 also resulted in BCA not cleaning up the partitions it created, had to do that manually using the terminal.
Windows 10 install aborts on MacBook Pro 2018
