Hello,
I did everything as described in this Thread: https://www.tonymacx86.com/threads/...ierra-on-any-supported-intel-based-pc.235474/

Furthermore I downloaded the Clover Configurator and managed with that and the VoodooPS2Controller Kexts to get to the installation GUI and select my external drive. High Sierra then tries to install itself on the external drive. It will automatically reboot my system, get into the Clover GUI, where I can see another Drive with an Apple logo and continuing the installation process. However, after the reboot I get a lot of text and in the end, my system just restarts again. But this time I don't even get to the Clover GUI where I can select my OS, my pc will just boot into Windows.

When I restart my pc however, I will get to the Clover GUI again. But guess what, the drive with the Apple logo will be gone. All I see is like before the "installation" - I see my Windows boot EFI and my "Install MacOS High Sierra" EFI.

On the external drive are files from the installation process when accessing it. There's also an ia.log file, that I will attach.

I hope someone can help me..

Follow the Clover guide linked from the FAQ.
http://www.tonymacx86.com/el-capita...faq-read-first-laptop-frequent-questions.html

Although you should read the FAQ for an overview of issues, the Clover guide is linked from the first question: "Q. Where do I start?", just after the bold face "Clover Guide".
Here is a direct link, just to be clear:
https://www.tonymacx86.com/threads/guide-booting-the-os-x-installer-on-laptops-with-clover.148093/

Also, your profile must be filled out with complete details as requested in the FAQ, again under "Q. Where do I start?". All seven details requested are equally important.

And if you have an issue (after following the guide), or on any other problem, you must provide a detailed description of the problem including information that helps us understand what you're doing. Always attach "Problem Reporting" files as per FAQ.
http://www.tonymacx86.com/el-capita...faq-read-first-laptop-frequent-questions.html
The required files and data are fully detailed in the last question in the FAQ:
"Q. What are typical "Problem Reporting" files?"
