VMware ESXi 6.7 Installation

I'm trying to install ESXi on a Dell Poweredge T320. I made a bootable DVD, I get through all the menus ok, but it consistently fails at the 5% mark. I end up with the error in the attached screenshot. 

I've tried installing via a virtual CD/DVD drive as well as the host drive. I've also tried making a new bootable DVD and I've gotten the same results. 

Thanks in advance!

Hello.
It is recommended to install VMware vSphere with the manufacturer's custom ISO in this case DELL, you can get it on the DELL website or My VMware (requires user and password / free registration)

Try installing VMware vSphere from a USB key link: https://nolabnoparty.com/en/vmware-esxi-6-5-install-host-usb-stick/
