It appears that the hdiutil on your Mac is unable to mount the downloaded Windows 10 image due to a specific system issue that is beyond my control.

Please follow these steps:

  1. Manually attempt to mount the Windows image by double-clicking on it.
    This step is required to verify if the image is even mountable.
  2. If the image mounts successfully, proceed to use WinDiskWriter and select the mount path
    (Example: /Volumes/Windows_Image) (not the .iso itself) for the Windows Image text field.
  3. If the image does not mount, a system reboot of your Mac is recommended.

Just as a note, I got this error because I had the windows ISO mounted. Unmounting it fixed it.

@vinceroti Got it. That's an error on hdiutil (macOS built-in binary) side.

I'll think about how can I minimize the occurrence of it, since I'm doing a complete rewrite of WinDiskWriter from Objective-C to Swift. So some new logic can be added.

Thank you very much for the report! 👍
