Your ISO is for 32-bit only, as indicated by the log:
Extracting: E:\efi\boot\bootia32.efi (1.3 MB)
You'll notice that there is no Extracting: E:\efi\boot\bootx64.efi
line, which means that it will NEVER be bootable on an UEFI x64 system, which is what you have (as indicated by the *** UEFI:NTFS (x64) ***
from your screenshot).
If you want to install Windows 7 in UEFI mode on this specific machine, you will need to find a Windows 7 64-bit ISO, as the one you have is simply incompatible with 64-bit UEFI.
It is a AIO. When i used it in non-UEFI mode it showed up all x86 and x64 versions and i used to select ultimate x64 which was a 64 bit OS.
Non-UEFI mode supports 32-bit, since it doesn't use any of the bootia32.efi
/bootx64.efi
bootloaders (it uses a special "BIOS emulation mode"). UEFI mode doesn't. There's nothing you can do, if you want to boot in UEFI mode, but find an ISO that includes an efi\boot\boox64.efi
file, a.k.a. a proper 64-bit ISO.
Also, please understand that AIO ISOs are non official, therefore the people who build them tend to screw up, which is exactly why you're running into this issue, and why I could just as well tell you "Please use an official retail Microsoft ISO".
Thanks

button (at the bottom of the Rufus interface), to compute the MD5, SHA1 and SHA256 checksums, which are therefore present in the log I copied. I confirmed, by performing an internet search, that these values match the ones from the official image.Issue description
I have been using this windows image for quite a long time in MBR partition mode, now I thought to switch out to UEFI+GPT. I used rufus 2.11 version to boot the iso into a sandisk cruzer 8GB drive. I disabled the secure boot and fast boot options in my MSI Z170A PRO motherboad, but i keep getting the following error: [FAIL] Could not locate '\efi\boot\bootx64.efi': [14] Not Found Press any key to exit
Thanks
