Having this error while in-place upgrading windows server 2008R2 to 2012R2

[htetmyeta]

Is there any steps I need to do before running setup.exe from 2012R2 ISO?

Hi,

In my experience, your problem has nothing to do with any VMware product.

One of the most frequent circumstances is a corrupted ISO image but sometimes there are other "obscure" problems that are quite difficult "to fix blindly". IMHO you may have better luck exposing your problem in forum specific to "Microsoft server operating systems".

Since the error does not relate to any VMware product, I have reported your post to the moderators, suggesting they move it to the Windows guest OS area.

I would suggest looking more broadly for online help regarding the Windows issue.
