    Marking this as a duplicate was stupid. He is not asking about installing winusb, as clearly he already has it, he is asking why he is getting an error... idiots.

  • sudo winusb --install win.ISO /dev/sdb1 this works for me.

  • Copy the iso file to some other location(Destop or home directory). Then format the usb to FAT32 filesystem using gparted partition Editor.

  • Remove the pendrive and then reinsert it.

  • It will automatically get mounted, then run winusb application.

  • Select the copied iso file and create a bootable windows flash drive.
