Error instaling VMware vSphere 6.7. Trial version on Windows Server 2019

Hi:

I got a problem when trying to install VMware vSphere 6.7. trial version.

Here is the error message:

----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

The following warning were encountered while parsing the installation script:

warning:file///ks.cfg:line 5: bootproto --device=1C:90:EC:52:55:A0 specified, but the link was not active.

Check that the cable is plugged in.

----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------


Can anyone help me to solve this issue?

Thanks in advance.

Carlos Chang

From what you're showing, you're trying to install ESXi and what this has to do with Windows Server 2019 I don't know. The output shows the MAC to the interface you're specifying has a link down. Fix the link.
