Problem with installing WMs

[Selfis1]

Hi, my problem is that I want to create a VM but once I launched it doesn't launch the OS but this (screenshot1) so I looked back into the settings I have seen that there's unchecked "Connect" (screenshot2) so I checked it and once I save it and edit the settings again it shows the same thing and after launching again the same thing.

Thank you for your help

That usually means the ISO does not contain a valid bootable image.

Hi @scott28tt thanks for your response I thought the same so I downloaded multiple iso from windows to Linux and it always does the same

I just noticed you posted this in the ESXi on ARM fling area, are you trying to install OSes which are for x86-based processors? If so, that won’t work.

Hi, @scott28tt thanks for your reply  I am installing 64bit Windows on VMware. My VMware is installed on my raspberry pi 4 64bit.

Have a look at the list of supported guest OSes: https://www.google.co.uk/url?sa=t&rct=j&q=&esrc=s&source=web&cd=&ved=2ahUKEwjNgZDNmOf2AhWDilwKHQXQCz...

Hi @scott28tt, thanks for the reply I looked at the list of supported OSes and I realized that I have installed ISO that hasn't the ARM64 structure so I did some research and I found Windows ISO with ARM64 and it worked. But one more question now I have a problem with installing a network adapter for windows so I can connect it to the internet.

You can try the Windows debug kernerl adapter: see https://www.reddit.com/r/vmware/comments/ntljzo/esxi_arm_fling_raspberry_pi4_e1000_e1000e_vmxnet3/

Hi, @cyprienlaplace  thanks for your reply I am still getting stuck because when I look at the windows network adapter settings there's no adapter I changed the settings many times and tried everything out but still nothing works.
