I have a couple of ideas for your script. Use pop-ups for the "Please mount USB disk" notification, "Select the ISO" / open the file browser and the final "Warning" message. The System.Windows.Forms is just to "Create USB disk"
Modified the looks of your script.

When an unformated disk is mounted and partitions created, windows sends a message inviting you to format the disk. For this reason a Stop-Service ShellHWDetection is executed. After the partitions are created and formated, the hardware detection is started again. There is not impact on the USB disk creation.

The script aborts when not started as admin. Replace at line 12 : " $Env:__ARGS__" by " $Env:__ARGS__" .The space between $ and E is mandatory when the script is started without argument.
Updated the OP with Windows Installation Disk 1.6. Made a correction to the script and a modification in the UI.
Sorry, my bad. The space should be inserted between " and $. But in fact it doesn't matter since we don't process the content of the argument field.
Your UI (modified) seems better.

With an other mdl project (sledgehammer) we encountered some (very rare) issues when trying to get admin privileges. I passed a parameter ($uac_error) when restarting the script with the runas script. When this parameter ($uac_error) is detected after the test to determine if we have admin privileges fails, this means that we risk to enter in a infinite loop.
What about BAU's explanation here? https://forums.mydigitallife.net/th...nstall-wim-over-4gb.79268/page-6#post-1540938
I'm absolutely not convinced. He says " if not admin - restart as admin, if already admin, do nothing" ; here is the problem : "if not admin - restart as admin" if the restart as admin fails for what ever reason, same player shoots again. I just tested this on a W7 VM. I created a standard user and started the script : the restart failed and my error message is displayed. Things can vary with os configuration. BTW forget my suggestion concerning the crlf and the suppression on the comment at the end of the script.
