I think there are some bugs in the installation. The Directory does not exist
“C:\Users\iongh\AppData\Local\Temp\EndlessBoot\live\core.img”.
It takes me many times to check that.
can anyone fixes this bugs ??
Thank you.

This is very strange – please can you attach the full installer log?

I hope, es can help.
Thanks you .

Ah I misunderstood your comment: you’re hitting the same bug. Unfortunately I don’t know the cause yet but I am working on it.

Multiple attempts. I cleared everything aside the 14GB file for this one. The thumb drive was cleaned with diskpart. EndlessInstaller creates three partitions and a format window appears. The installer reports failure. The temp directory does not exist on this system either.
EndlessInstaller20171007_02_29_44.log (84.2 KB)

03:00:03 - C:\Drivers\Endless\eos-eos3.2-amd64-amd64.170922-055208.en.boot.zip has unknown compression type zip
Maybe this is why the directory does not exist?

03:01:16 - Size of SBR is 1048576 bytes from C:\Users\ryan\AppData\Local\Temp\EndlessBoot\live\core.img
03:01:16 - write_sectors: Write error [0x00000002] The system cannot find the file specified.
03:01:16 - Wrote: 0, Expected: 512
This occurs later, and well before:

03:01:16 - Size of SBR is 1048576 bytes from C:\Users\ryan\AppData\Local\Temp\EndlessBoot\live\core.img
this line. Is it just confusing logging or is the file being removed before it is used?

Actually, this error is spurious and unrelated.

I don’t understand why the error reported by Windows is “The system cannot find the file specified.” but it’s the target file (the USB device) that misbehaves, not the source file (core.img). I have a potential fix for this bug but it’s not done yet.

That’s because it’s deleted at the end of the process (whether it succeeded or failed).

I understand what you said. If monitoring the destination folder, it does not appear to be created.
