Windows Server 2012 GUI + ESXi 5

Hello,

Has anyone run into any issues installing Windows Server 2012 gui version under ESXi 5?  Every time I try installing the OS, after it reboots to the machine from coping files off the disk, it sits on an endless loading screen (the blue windows icon with a circle made out of white dots).  I have tried redownloading my ISO from the Microsoft Licensing panel twice, recreating the VM from scratch, but I get the same result every time.

Does anyone have any ideas on things to try to get the guest OS to install?


Thanks!
