Description:

In the last few months, people installing Windows on their Macs with Boot Camp Assistant have started seeing the message “An Error occurred while copying the Windows installation files” when using some Windows 10 ISO downloaded from Microsoft. I have seen it a lot since I do testing with ISO of Windows Enterprise downloaded from Microsoft that have been showing this problem. It didn’t seem to happen with all ISO so I investigated the issue, filed a bug with Apple, and figured out a workaround to the problem.

To resolve this issue, both FAT32 partitions need to be removed from the disk and a new ISO must be created where no single file is larger than 4GB. We have created a free utility called “Boot Camp ISO Converted” that copies all the files in the ISO to a folder, splits up the install.wim into parts no larger than 2GB, and creates a new ISO that can be used with Boot Camp Assistant.
