Same issue. I don't know why I even bother with ARM based devices. With a 50$ x86 PC I could have done this in minutes.

Pi 3 has been having issues lately. Even if it worked, it would be fairly useless already due to the 1 GB of RAM.

Pi 4 is recommended.

Yeah, because testing x86 emulation and building an SMB is sooooo useless. Also windows 10 runs on 512MB of RAM if you use the Super Charger i made.

+1 on this issue. Whatever the peinstaller/pi3/gptpatch.img trick is to try and make GPT look like MBR doesn't seem to work for rpi 3. I tried a few variants of this manually and only succeeded in creating corrupt partition tables that nothing could read.

The workaround I'm using for anyone else... get a separate SD card, and format it as MBR/FAT-32 and just copy the EFI files to it from here: https://github.com/pftf/RPi3/releases

If you then have install-wor run on another SD card in a USB card reader, or just a USB device, plugged into the rpi USB ports, EFI on the built-in SD card slot will find the installer on the 2nd device and run from there.

I still can't get my rpi 3 to install, but at least I can spend hours in the installer trying over and over again 😆

Pi3 should work, now that I made it download the right uefi files for pi3. For a while it was using pi4 uefi files preventing the pi3 from booting.
