A problem occurred while reading the OVA file.: Error: Invalid XML:

Hi All,

I've this issue only when I start the installer from either an ISO or an unpacked ISO from my laptop.

On any other Server or Workstation the installer runs without any problem

Even though you say it runs without a problem, compare the checksum of the ISO and make sure it matches the one posted to ensure there's no corruption.

That's the funny thing about it, if I copy over the same ISO to another server or desktop it works just fine :smileyplain:
