There's a load of entries in the installer log saying failed to initiate file transfer due to current state.  Then it carries on then there are a load of authentication failures but this is after it has created the VM.  How are the credentials failing?  I have given it the ESXi credentials and it has created the machine so can't be that and the vm gets created by the wizard so why would there be credential issues?  I've attached the installer log from this morning test.
