@pioj
I have some new posts added to your thread about the Windows cannot complete installation Error popup just before first Reboot.
The list of reboot.pro forum is not properly updated so that you will not notice my new posts.

In case booting from USB with PE is not available we can use Windows Shift Restart to arrive in Windows Recovery Environment.

 

In WinRE blue menu Advanced Options we can use Command > notepad > File Open > Run as Admin WinNTSetup_x64.exe

 

and Select Captured WIM file of Windows 10/11 x64 and use Setup for Apply in VHD  e.g. Inject New System in VHD next to existing Windows.
