Are you installing from media in the optical drive of the host or using an iso file on a datastore? What's the host hardware you're using?

Network Administrator

Please check the allocated memory and CPUs when u configure the VM base. What is the memory size you have allocated for the VM? Cheers!

Increase the Memory to 2 GB .
