I have been trying to install OSMC using the windows installer and the downloaded OSMC_TGT_rbp2_20150628.img.gz image. But it does not work. Either it fails during installation or if it shows success - the RPi 2 does not boot up.
But the same OSMC_TGT_rbp2_20150628.img when installed with Win32DiskImager it boot and works fine (except the wifi)
For whatever reason, the OSMC installer cannot lock your device. Win32DiskImager is not used in the OSMC installer. Maybe it has a better way of locking the device. I’m willing to bet this is something trivial though. Can you verify you’re not downloading and running the installer off of the SD card as well? Sometimes people make this mistake
FYI… I also could not the installer to work. I was using Win 10.
The error log (under C:\users<myLogin>) indicated the installer could not write to the MBR since the SD card was “locked.” Temporarily disabling Windows Defender did not help.
I finally resorted to using an old laptop running Win 7. It worked.
