Error 82 on applying install.wim

[NunoLava1998]

To make a Windows 2 Go USB, i need to "apply" a install.wim file. I have a completely clean wim file, as i used the official Windows 10 ISO creation tool directly from Microsoft, took image.esd, converted it to image.wim using built-in utilities, and now i have this file.

 

I installed GImagex (graphical version of imagex), and tried to apply this WIM onto my SanDisk 16GB USB 2.0 drive. However, it always fails at:

 

"

Source: C:\Users\Nuno\Documents\Windows 2 go\install.wim
Destination: I:\
Image: 1
Verify: Off
Check: Off
Temporary files: I:\

Opening WIM...please wait...

Image contains 19070 folders and 103878 files.
Starting apply...
ERROR: I:\Windows\WinSxS\amd64_multipoint-wmssvc.interop_31bf3856ad364e35_10.0.14393.0_none_2a92a877b3a0ebf2 [err = 82]
ERROR: Error applying WIM.
ERROR: The directory or file cannot be created."

 

How do i fix this error?

 

For anyone doubting install.esd/install.wim contains anything:

 

It contains a Windows version, as you can see in PowerISO and is the file that Windows copies to the hard drive, then does updates, etc.

I checked and it does contain default Windows folders and files.

 

For anyone wanting to know specifications of my system:

 

OS: Windows 10 v1607/14393.576/Redstone v1.

CPU: Intel i3 4160

HDD: 1 TB, however only 558 GiB is reserved for Windows

GPU: Superclocked GTX 950

USB: SanDisk Cruzer 16 GB USB 2.0 stick, formatted as FAT32

 

For anyone wanting to know what i have tried:

 

I have tried converting wim to iso, however this copied something else and did not work. Through PowerISO, it gave an error so fatal PowerISO stopped working (the message that says that).

I have tried directly writing the wim, however that doesn't work.

I have tried writing to a folder, THEN putting that in a ISO, however it is impossible to include the bootloader like that.

 

 

 

Thank anyone for any help.

Have you tried WinToUSB? It works great, however the free version is a bit slow to install onto the USB drive. Once it's installed it's really fast. Give it a try.

Was about to suggest the same thing.  

Yes it works very well. Please do try it. I've never had any issues with it.

It fails on "The system cannot write to the specified device.(0x0005006300F20000)" on admin, non-admin, first version and latest version (3.4). However, i can use the USB completely fine, and i can write, read, format, etc.

In that case try a different USB flash drive, or a USB hard drive that doesn't have any data on it.

Used "GPT for UEFI" instead of "MBR for BIOS and UEFI" and it actually seems to be doing fine!

AAAAAAAAAAA

 

Looks like it didn't work and my solution was using MBR for BIOS and UEFI. And it booted! There are just some things to be fixed.

 

For example, if you want to boot, you have to remove the drive, put it back in (everything while it's off), turn on the computer, and go there.

If you try to reboot, it may work or:

 

Give a BSoD (in some cases, shutdown the computer right after like it was nothing)

Say that boot info is incorrect and to repair computer (in Windows 7, vista and XP style, wat)

 

This works on any x86 machine. That supports Windows 10, anyway.
