Installer fails with "Error: Object reference not set to an instance of object." about woa-installer-rpi HOT 14 CLOSED

@cdw2286 If it just goes to the Shell> prompt, follow the instructions here: https://discourse.pi64.win/t/frequently-asked-questions-faq/49

That did the trick for me @abedhaque . Thank you!

I'm having the identical issue.

I am having the same issue

Edit:
I tried formatting SD card as both NTFS and FAT32 which did not make a difference.

from woa-installer-rpi.

It seems the tool isn't recovering access to the disk after it's been flashed. Sorry guys, just can tell you to try to upgrade Windows 10 to the latest version (non Insider) that is Windows 10 version 1809. It may be a problem of PowerShell.

I haven't heard of such a problem until today!

@cdw2286 You don't have to format any partition on the card. The flash part should make they partition layout ready for the deployment.

Same issue for me as well. I am running the latest ver of windows 10. Any idea's?

Thank you for the response. I am currently upgrading Windows to build 1809 and will report back the results.

I tried updating to 1809, and it still won't work. Always the same issue. I'll try on another PC to see if that works.

Hi,
Had the issue when trying to do it from D:
Also, I believe it was running as Administrator.

No problem while running from the Desktop

UPDATE:
After upgrading Windows to Build 1809 and following @julienrobin28 comment about running WOA Installer from the Desktop (I was previously running from the F: Drive), I was able to successfully install to my SD card.

However, when I put the SD card into the RPi and turn it on, it just goes to a Shell> prompt. Am I missing something?
