You are trying to make a bootable USB from an ISO file (Maybe a Windows installation ISO?) using WoeUSB, and the error message said that you can not copy the file install.wim in the the partition because the parameters by default in WoeUSB for the target filesystem (USB stick) are FAT32. That is what i saw in the link posted by you: WoeUSB Installation failed ERROR
Now, from the man page of WoeUSB (WoeUSB man page) the options
`--target-filesystem`
and
`--device`
will help you.
To accomplish the task you should type in the command line something like this:
sudo woeusb --target-filesystem NTFS --device /media/pathtothe/isofile.iso /dev/sdX
whith the option --target-filesystem NTFS you make possible copy into the USB files greater than 4GiB. In your case the install.wim file.
/dev/sdX is the target device (your USB stick unmounted). Change the X according to your needs.
That should work.
Hope this can help you.

I think you might be running into the 4GB file size restriction when using FAT16/32 partitions.
Try wiping the USB stick and re-partitioning it at an ext4 partition on your USB stick (assuming your USB stick is /dev/USB0 ):
sudo mkfs.ext4 /dev/USB0

If UEFI, you have to have a FAT32 partition for UEFI boot. If BIOS boot you may need to use grub in separate /boot partition. Do your really need that large of an ISO, or can you add another partition with scripts to add changes you want?

I think you might be running into the 4GB file size restriction when using FAT16/32 partitions.
Try wiping the USB stick and re-partitioning it at an ext4 partition on your USB stick (assuming your USB stick is /dev/USB0 ):
