I successfully installed this:

dd, in Windows?
which version of dd for windows did you use?
The latest version of 'dd' is 0.6beta3. It can be downloaded from
http://www.chrysocome.net/dd
As of ver 0.6beta1, it accepts 2 new switches: 'id=' and 'od='. These are input
drive and output drive. The argument for these switches is the Windows drive
letter and colon.
For example,
dd bs=1M if=debian-live-6.0.6-amd64-lxde-desktop.iso of=e:/ <-- doesn't work
but
dd bs=1M if=debian-live-6.0.6-amd64-lxde-desktop.iso od=e: <-- does work.
(where 'e:' is the USB flash's Windows device letter - note that the 'od='
switch is not documented in command-line help.)
Then I booted from the USB flash and installed Debian + LXDE desktop to a USB
drive.
(The GRUB bootloader install failed toward the end of the installation.)
Isn't the the same failure you've been reporting all along? How is this now
"solved?"
You trimmed off the end of my post, Miles. I threw away the thread so I can't
give you the last 2 lines but I'll paraphrase:
The GUI Debian Installer apparently is broken. I succeeded by using the
text-mode Debian Installer.
