Windows Server 2019 Not Installable on Esxi 7.0 U1

I don't know how to report this bug, but recent iso of Windows Server 2019 does not install if the Compatibility is Esxi 7.0 U1. It installs if Compatibility is set to Esxi 7.0 though with the same settings. 

Trying to install with ESXI 7.0 U1 will give a driver error and everyone kept saying the ISO is corrupted, but changing to ESXI 7.0 with the same ISO worked flawlessly. 

Build: (Updated) ESXi-7.0U1d-17551050-standard (VMware, Inc.)

System: PowerEdge R7425

CPU: 16 CPUs x AMD EPYC 7261 8-Core Processor

Memory: 95.68 GB DDR4 ECC

Hi SKIDGFX

we need more information where this issue pops up. Do you install through ESXi Ui direct on host or through vCenter. The compatbility mode you mentioned choose the hardware version of the machine. So you are fine when you go with 7.0 without U1. So let‘s try to resolve this isusue: Please explain the steps performed and also some print screens can help us 😉
