SME Server Install Hangs

[EricBMMT]

I am New to ESXi. Running 6.5 on a Dell R710. Trying to install SME Server 9.2 (or 9.1 both have issues). During install I get to this point and it just hangs. How can I troubleshoot what is going on? Here is the point it hangs at. I am assuming it is Harddrive related.

Hi Eric, I don't see this listed as a supported guest OS: VMware Compatibility Guide - Guest/Host Search

Can you upload your vmware.log file for this VM and we can take a look?

Graham,

Thanks for the reply. Attached is the VMWare.log from this machine.

Hi Eric,

Sorry, not seeing the attachment

Now?

I see them both now

I do not see anything strange in the logs though. Can you download the software again and run a checksum to ensure it has been downloaded correctly, then try again and let us know if this fixed it?

Did the checksum and everything matched. I got it to work by configuring it as an ESXI 6.0 and later machine. Attached is a pic of the change I made. Seems to be working now.
