Welcome to AskUbuntu, unfortunately Windows is off-topic please see [help/on-topic] I would suggest moving your question to (http://superuser.com/) — DnrDevil, Jan 16 '16 at 14:42
@DnrDevil Why is it off-topic? I think he tries to create a Windows bootable USB using Ubuntu. — kalpetros, Jan 16 '16 at 14:45
Doesn't seem this way from text however you may be right in any case winusb is not recommend to use in Linux by Windows — DnrDevil, Jan 16 '16 at 14:54
@kalpetros, i do not remember. Does it need to be installed in a specific way ? — Jan Boldt, Jan 16 '16 at 15:11
Read this. It's a pretty straightforward procedure. Just add the ppa and install WinUSB. Then use a 8GB or more flash drive and click install. It should work. — kalpetros, Jan 16 '16 at 15:14
Ok so the problem here is this: doesn't look like an EFI partition. WinUSB only creates MBR bootable USB drives. I think there is a workaround to this by changing the method that WinUSB is using to install GRUB. — kalpetros, Jan 16 '16 at 15:23

WinUSB functions require Windows XP or later. You can use these functions in your C/C++ application to communicate with your USB device. Microsoft does not provide a managed API for WinUSB.
