Tip: If woeusb starts to complain for mounted device etc … Unmount and unplug the usb device. Plug the usb and unmount the partition.
Updated: Using bash script
Install woeusb dependencies mentioned below.
Go to github repo and copy the link of the bash script of the latest release and download it using wget . In my case, during this update, is 5.2.2.
