I ran into the same issue mentioned in issue https://github.com/AveYo/MediaCreationTool.bat/issues/337, and the fix offered in https://github.com/AveYo/MediaCreationTool.bat/issues/337#issuecomment-2015705040 seemed to work.

The download appeared to be working, but the final screen of the MediaCreationTool process said something like "must login as Administrator to run this". I can't recall the exact phrase, but it clearly stated I must be logged in as Administrator.

I launched the batch script from an Administrator CMD prompt, but perhaps that is not enough as there may be child processes launched that do not carry the Administrator privilege through.

I think it is best practice in Windows to never login as Admin but instead only use a Standard account for everything possible. Given that this can be used to just create an ISO or USB installer, is there a way to make this run under Standard login?
