==================================

Do you have gksudo command installed on your system?

==================================

This issue is also reproduced in the following article:
Make A Bootable Windows 10 USB Install Stick On Linux With WinUSB Fork ~ Web Upd8: Ubuntu / Linux blog

====================================

I got same problem but solved now by
"sudo apt-get install gksu"
"gksudo winusbgui"
(i.e..type it without quotes)

Installation failure error (GUI version)
#76

Lin-Buo-Ren

changed the title from "Installation failed !" in GUI but not in CLI to "Installation failed !" in GUI but not in CLI (/usr/bin/winusb: line 78: 18265 Terminated )

======================================================

Hi again, please use the latest revision in GitHub repo and see if it's still reproducible(it should be, as we never fixed the problem anyway).

=======================================================

I was encountered this issue right now, with windows 10.
I'm on ubuntu 16.04 and WinUSB 1.0.11

I tried to run the installation anyway and it worked(I just ignored the error).

=====================================================

Hi, please use the latest revision in the repository (instead of latest released version) for reproducing the issue. We've have changed a quite amount of code since 1.0.11

======================================================

I got similar problem and solve it!
I dont now why, but if you use GUI its not work. Use command line in way:
sudo winusb --format /path-to-ISO-file/filename.iso /dev/sdb (or other way to your flash)

=========================================================

The issue title already tell that CLI(command line interface) works.
This issue is about the GUI problem

=========================================================

I started winusb from console:

gksudo winusbgui

then winusb detect my pendrive correctly, and I succesfully copied the Windows 7 installer to my pendrive (Ubuntu 14.10).

Thanks, worked perfectly. – prdatur May 20 '15 at 17:23

Without the sudo, the GUI prompts the user for administrative credentials, but ultimately fails. Running with sudo from the start works great. – Willi Ballenthin Jul 29 '15 at 17:05
============================================

The USB must be formatted to FAT32. Otherwise, I still get this error. To do that, open GParted, select the correct device from the drop-down, right-click the partition and unmount it. Then, right-click and format to FAT32.

===============================================

For some reason winusb kept hanging up on formatting the USB drive, said it couldn't access the drive. I ended up formatting to NTFS using the "Disks" application in Ubuntu and then using winusb from the terminal:

sudo winusb -v --install Win_7_Pro.iso /dev/sdc

NOTE: you can check to see what your usb device is using lsblk from a terminal, mine was sdc.

Thank you so much, this is the only thing that ran successfully for me. – conradk May  at :

Same here for Linux Mint! – Michel Jun  at :

I got an error using /dev/sdc, but got it right after figuring out it needed to be /dev/sdc1 (with a "" at the end in my case). – heltonbiker Nov  at :

This should be an accepted answer. – user983803
