Hi, @Luxxadin @Jubish-Jose 

I have reviewed the vminst_20230509074113.log you uploaded.

The error content was exactly the same as the Horizon Client installer log in another thread.

This is usually caused by AV blocking writes to hosts file. I think you have already tried it, but if not try adding the below lines to 

C:\WINDOWS\system32\Drivers\etc\hosts

127.0.0.1 view-localhost # view localhost server
