Installing vCenter 6.7 iso in workstation Pro - just gives Operating System Not Found

[sheilaee]

Hi Everyone

I am an IT teacher i have taught vSphere 5.5 for years doing a live install with my students.

Now we want to upgrade to 6.7

I use workstation Pro and have just update it to the latest ver with licence.

I was able to install esxi 6.7 with no problems but vCenter 6.7 just gives me Operating System Not Found.

I am using  vCenter Appliance VMware-VCSA-all-6.7.0-11726888.iso

I am stalled as I know my VM settings are correct.

I am use to using an ova file my understanding is this is now inside the iso file as an OVF file.

I removed my adapter as it kept going to pxe boot .

Classes have started and I am hitting my head aganist a wall.

Help

Try following this: Learn How to Build a VMware Home Lab in a Complete Walkthrough

You need to mount the ISO and get to the OVA file inside it, then get Workstation to deploy a VM from the OVA.

the VMware-VCSA-all-6.7.0-11726888.iso is no bootable iso - you should mount it and run the installer from a subfolder
