VCSA 7 stage 2 setup stuck at Saving host name

[KeithLowKW]

Installing VCSA7 (7.0.1-16860138) on VMware Workstation 16.0 Pro. Setup keep getting stuck at Stage 2 "Saving host name", right after step 2. Can't find much information about this. 

DNS has been setup on another Windows Server 2019 VM. nslookup has no issue.

This is not supported by VMware. Helpful for a lab environment though https://kb.vmware.com/s/article/10087

You have probably fixed this by now. In my case, I just had to refresh the browser and redo the input of all info. It went through without issues on the second attempt.

I agree with @pxtian relaunching the browser or refreshing and starting again resolves this issue.
