Bootcamp – Installing Windows 10 from an ISO Image on MacBook Pro 2016

bootbootcampmacbook promacoswindows

Recently I've bought a new 15-inch MacBook Pro 2016 with Touch bar and I tried to install windows 10 using an ISO image and bootcamp. Everything was going well until I got the following error in my laptop's boot area within the Windows 10 installation environment:

The Error

Windows cannot locate the disk and partition specified in the unattend answer file's <ImageInstall> setting.

I know that Editing the XML file for the answer system can solve the problem, but how? As you know in this version of MacBook Pro no USB stick is used to install Windows and I cannot find where macOS stores the files created by bootcamp for installing windows.

Please help me fix this issue.

You don't need to do such sophisticated thing. All you need to do is:

After making a second partition for windows:

  1. Provide an external super drive and insert the DVD of windows 10 inside it.
  2. You will find out that your trackpad and keyboard are not functioning in the following steps of windows 10 installation.
  3. Therefore you should use a mouse (I prefer wired mouse) and an external keyboard.
  4. Finally when the installation finished, download bootcamp separately from apple and install it then you'll see that all of the features of you MacBook Pro are greatly working such as trackpad, keyboard, bluetooth, graphic and etc.
