Hello

The tool which I link, is device from the 2016 DVD. It works on Windows 10. I made a bootable USB drive from hp dvd iso, with this tool on windows 10. But, that CD operates on Win10, I don't know?

Good luck

On Windows 10 VM file does not work

"Smart component execution not supported at this time in Server Virtualized Guest operating systems"

I installed this update and still can not create the USB. I have a samsung 128gig 3.0 which the tool does not see, I tried a full parttition, a 10gig partition. Seems to be an issue with this usb stick.  Tried a lexar 8gig and it shows up.

IIRC the limit for USB size is around 32gb. not sure abut that, but there is a limit. i use 16gb drives, this is working well.

[RalphR]

please explain how the filedropper works to create the SPP on a USB?

[RalphR]

I have this version but it still does not work, here is a screennshot of what I get.

I just tried with SPP 2017.07.7 which contains USB Key Creator version 3.  Using Windows 10, I double clicked the ISO image from explorer, which opened the ISO. I then drilled down to the usb/usbkey directory and ran usbkey.exe  It recognized the key I had plugged in along with the ISO windows already had opened. I was able to create a bootable key without issue

This worked for me on a 2012 R2 server. Thanks!

I've tried to change USB format from FAT32 to NTFS and it worked under windows 10.

[Torsten.]

... but the first step the tool does is a format to fat32 ...

BTW, version 3.0 is working fine with the current SPPs

Just ran into this issue with a 64 GB USB flash drive using 3.0 (latest currently).  Finally found on the download page under prerequisites "Minimum 1GB USB 2.0 flash drive (maximum size is 32GB)."

1. Mount the SPP ISO file on Virtual DVD

2. Choose that as the source when you run the utility. Directly assigining the ISO file didn't work for me.

Thanks,

Biju

thank you

[GKhalsa]

Thanks, This trick worked for me. HP 2.1.0 was failing in Windows 10. But when I extracted March 2019 SPP and used 3.0 utility as described by you, Voila ! it worked like a charm.

For me the HPE USB Key Utility would just close itself when trying to create the USB key from the ISO.

The fix was to mount the ISO by double clicking on it, then go to the USB directory and run the USB creation tool from inside. Then use the mounted ISO as the source.

[MajorBasshat]

The above solution worked for me, Windows 10 1903.

You can also right click the .iso file and choose mount from the right click menu.  Please note the same requirements apply for the USB drive 32GB or less.  Mine is a USB 3.0 so that works as well, even though some documentation I saw mentioned USB 2.0.

[CloudSlyr]

Took same thing to work as well.  what is this, 2016?!  HPE it seems to be "use our paid ILO or get wrecked".  utter nonsense

[Dirk Kuik]

I've tested all/most of the above suggestions, for me it only worked to get a W7 machine to burn a HP .iso with this utility (and using a burned CD/DVD in between, so 2 steps)

[Casper42]

It must depend on the type of ISO being used.

I used the 2017 USB key Utility 3.0 to convert the 2021.10 Gen10 SPP onto 3 USB keys just 2 weeks ago and had ZERO problems.

Windows 10 21H2
