[SOLVED] UniBeast 7.1.1 fails to create bootable USB (logs included)

[sweeznit]

Update: Solved - [link]

Creating a bootable USB fails to complete and the progress bar hangs in the UI.

I'm using a partitioned volume of the recommended max 32GB from a 1TB WD My Passport hard drive. I've also tried on an HP 8GB USB drive.

I'm working from a MacBook Pro (Retina, 15-inch, Mid 2014) running macOS Sierra 10.12.4.

Options that were selected:

• The partitioned volume (Mini [32GB])
• Sierra (downloaded from the App Store [10.12.4] as of April 3, 2017)
• UEFI Boot Mode

Below is a log from UniBeast.log:

Below is a portion of the log from install.log:
I could not find "Install: "UniBeast Mac App Store"" or Displaying 'Install Failed' UI. However, I found where it started to error.

Any insight would be greatly appreciated. Hopefully this helps improve UniBeast.

Update: I noticed the `No such file or directory` error in my install.log so I ended up doing a First Aid on my portable USB hard drive. It turned out to be corrupted so I booted my MacBook in recovery mode (cmd + r + restart) and erased the drive there with Disk Utility. I then booted back into macOS and partitioned a 16GB volume naming it USB. Running through UniBeast one more time showed a successful install.
