I can confirm that and it took me some hours to identify the problem. The stick can be booted and the installation process will even start, but when it comes to read the

If you are on Windows, you can use DISM instead of wimlib: Dism /Split-Image /ImageFile:C:\Users\Admin\Downloads\install.wim /SWMFile:D:\sources\install.swm /FileSize:3072 If you are on Linux, instead of |
Component: unetbootin.x86_64 677-1.fc32 @fedora Hi. I encounter a similar problem with a disc image –Win10_2004_Finnish_x64.iso– written on last Linux Fedora; SHA256 file checksum checked and correct. Error code: 0x8007000D. |
I can't believe this is still an issue (not only with German versions, I just failed to install international english Win10 image for the same reason). Not able to copy a >4GB file - ok. But simply reporting successful completion without warning/error - not good! |

. In the ISO, the file has a size of 4295122745 bytes; on the USB, it's only 4294836224 bytes and Windows installer refuses to use this file.unetbootin created a FAT32 filesystem on my USB stick (32GB of size).
When I manually try to copy the install.wim from the ISO to the USB stick, it fails as well:
I know about the 4GB file size limit for FAT32. But as unetbootin did NOT show an error, I was under the impression that it succeeded. It failed, and even worse, it failed silently.
