Error during installing VCSA6.7

[alhawary]

Hello guys,

+=+=+=+=+=+=+=+=+=+=+=+=+=+=+=+=+=+=+=+=+=+=+=+=+=+=+=+=+

I found the solution. It's the ISO itself.

I calculated the MD5 and SHA for the ISO I'm using and found that it's different than the original one.

So I downloaded it again from VMware portal and it worked like charm.

I really need your help with my problem ASAP, my VCSA 6.7 setup get stopped at 63% every time I try to install it.

1. The ESXi is installed on DELL PowerEdge R410
2. I'm using ESXi Ver: 6.7.0 Update 1 (Build 10302608), VCSA Ver: 6.7.0 (Build 10244745)
3. I tried to install from Windows Server 2016, Windows 8.1 x64 (2 different PCs), tried from a VM on the ESXi itself and remotely.
4. My ESXi still in an evaluation mode.
5. I'm sure that the forward and revers records are setup correctly, tried to ping and nslookup with full success.

I searched if there is any SW requirements for the deployment but I found nothing !

** I attached the log.

You should not be specifying the gateway as one of your DNS servers. Attempt the deploy again but remove 192.168.1.1.
