Can Windows 10 Download as ISO using Media Creation Tool be resumed if failed?


I downloaded Windows Media Creation tool from Microsoft Site in order to download Windows 10 Pro 64 as a separate ISO file to a local folder on my Vaio laptop running Windows 7 Starter 32 OEM.


Everything went fine until it reached 100%. Thereafter the Media Creation Tool app simply closed without doing anything and the ISO was not created. I again did a fresh download and the story repeated. At 100% completion the tool just closes without integrating the temp file into ISO.


I searched the net for any undocumented trick to resume the process, however the proposed solution (running setupprep.exe from C:\$Windows.~WS\Sources
) in my case was not possible, as no such file was found therein.


Is there any fix for this to somehow resume or complete the download process now?


For now I have left all the downloaded stuff under C:\$Windows.~WS\Sources\ as it is, includes several .dll files and a .tmp file of around 3 GB.


Thanks.


Answer



As Blaine stated in the comments, just download the ISO directly from MS.
