When I use bootable USB install ESXi 6.0b
that run to tools.t00 show
     compressed md5 : 000(all 0)

     decompressed md5 : 0000(all 0)

     Fatal Error 15 (not found)

CPU : Xeon E5 2620 * 2

MB : Z9PE-D8-WS

RAM : 40GB

Welcome to the Community,

how exactly did you create the bootable USB device?

I use Rufus 3.11 and chose MBR scheme FAT32 system

I've used Rufus before, but not for installing ESXi.

So what I'd like you to do - to rule out issues with the image - is to verify that the ESXi image that you are using is healthy, i.e. the checksum matches the one provided by VMware.

Note that 6.0 is end of life/support, so if you’re running anything like a production workload an upgrade to at least 6.5 would be advisable.

As a.p.​ said most likely this is due to a corrupted. you can check VMware checksum and use 7zip CRC SHA checksums on client computer to check iso integrity.

thanks for a.p.​ reply

I already use that ISO file install on the VM is success
but when I use Rufus to install on really host it fails

[nachogonzalez]

What about formating the thumbdrive with windows and extracting files from the iso on the thumbdrive?

In case you configured the Rufus settings as shown in e.g. https://vmarena.com/how-to-create-bootable-vsphere-6-7-installer-usb-flash-drive/, then a next step in troubleshooting would be to try  another USB device to rule out a bad device.

Unfortunately I have tried two different USB

it still can't install

I will try another one later
