Features

ScreenshotRufus is a small utility that helps format and create bootable USB flash drives, such as USB keys/pendrives, memory sticks, etc. It can be be especially useful for cases where: you need to create USB installation media from bootable ISOs (Windows, Linux, etc.); you need to work on a system that doesn't have an OS installed; you need to flash a BIOS or other firmware from DOS; you want to run a low-level utility. Rufus is significantly faster than similar utilities and it's open source and free.

There are no issues with the installer. If you get an incomplete or corrupted version, it will automatically refuse to run. There could be something on your PC interfering. Please post a note in the Other Apps support forum with details including your OS version, 32/64 bit, full install path, new vs upgrade, what antivirus/antimalware is running on your machine, etc so your issue can be researched.

Sometimes, the impossible can become possible, if you're awesome!
