Newly made RS4 Multi-Architecture ISO is demonstrating some problems. When I mount the ISO and try to copy the files to a newly formatted FAT32 USB drive I get this error: For whatever it is worth Rufus fails with this ISO at approximately the same place. Do you have any idea what is going on?
Hell yeah, habemus Windows 10 version 1803 . Seriously, the best thing MDL dev community has ever done imho is adding the option in ESD decrypter tool to build an ISO of a specific edition. No longer I'll waste time waiting for specific editions ESDs. It's now a matter of just downloading the whole AIO ESD for a specific language and choosing within ESD decrypter tool which editions I wanna build an ISO from. Can't be grateful enough for that, thank you MDL community.

Press any key to exit. ISO can't be extracted to FAT32 USB, because the install.wim is larger then 4GB, you need to compress it to install.esd or split it into 2 install.swm (both need to be <4GB) files to fit FAT32,
Excellent suggestion. The Multi-Architecture ISO made with abbodi1406's esd decrytor tool is fine. (Thank you @abbodi1406) The problem turned out to be a strange convergence of my laptop and an old USB 2.0 USB stick. I had it plugged into a USB 3.0 port and that should not make difference but it did. After I move it to a USB 2.0 port it worked without issue.
one question, if I format the flash drive into NTFS then copy the ISO, it will be booted in MBR legacy BISO mode right, or UEFI GPT
