HP USB Key Utility not work on Windows 10

[MichaelNNN]

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.

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.

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

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)

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

(From the Custom SPP site, it's just a prebuilt rollup with additional patches beyond 2021.10)

There is a very simple solution to all of this...

Extract the EXE, or mount the respective hp service pack ISO (google..................)

find all the tools in there, how very naughty

some examples of how you could ugprade stuff:

 is a CD-ROM Drive
Copying HP SUM files from "D:\hp\swpackages\" to "C:\Users\*redacted*\AppData\Local\Temp\localhpsum"
14 File(s) copied
2020 File(s) copied
26 File(s) copied
1 File(s) copied
1 File(s) copied
1 File(s) copied
1 File(s) copied
hpsum_service_x64.exe started successfully on port 63001, ssl port 63002 and ftp port disabled.
Launching default web browser to SUM login URL:
http://localhost:63001/index.html?session_id=s352318533377&lang=en
Recommended minimum browsers: Internet Explorer 9, Firefox 18, Chrome 24
SUM engine is now running. Use the web browser to interact with SUM. This process will exit once SUM engine is shutdown from the user interface.

Oh what a shame it would be if someone accidetely posted the script that is literally included in the bloody iso..

set SOURCE=%1

IF [%3]==[] (
set DEST=%2
) ELSE (
set DEST=%2\%3
IF NOT EXIST "%DEST%" MD "%DEST%\"
)

xcopy "%SOURCE%\*.*" "%DEST%\" /e /k
move "%DEST%\system\initrd.img"    "%DEST%\"
move "%DEST%\system\vmlinuz"       "%DEST%\"
move "%DEST%\system\chain.c32"     "%DEST%\"
move "%DEST%\usb\hpusbkey\vesamenu.c32"  "%DEST%\"
move "%DEST%\system\sample.msg"    "%DEST%\"
move "%DEST%\usb\syslinux.cfg"     "%DEST%\"
move "%DEST%\usb\usbmenu.cfg"      "%DEST%\"
attrib -r "%DEST%\efi\boot\grub.cfg"
copy /Y "%DEST%\efi\boot\grub_usb.cfg"   "%DEST%\efi\boot\grub.cfg"

IF EXIST "%SOURCE%\usb\syslinux.exe" "%SOURCE%\usb\syslinux.exe" -fma %2

work it out from there lad
