Unable to install Photon in Workstation

Hello to all!

I am totally new to development. So, naturally, I want to try Project Photon and try to learn "container-based" development.

I have downloaded the iso. I created VM in Workstation.

I get the prompt to "Install" Photon. However, after I hit Enter to do it, I see the following:

Decompressing Linux... Parsing ELF.... done.

Booting the kernel.

Then it sits at this screen for a bit and reboots the VM. I never get to choose a drive to install Photon or anything else that is described in documentation.

Any ideas?

Thank you in advance for your help!

Vitaly
