Any help here would be appreciated.... I have tried both GUI and CLI install

Any help would be appreciated.... Thank you in advance.
[UPDATE] - (ANSWER) so after trying multiple things including installing from a VM on the same host and getting the same error.... I was able to .... I will say get past the issue because I don't know what caused it. I simply downloaded a new copy of the VCSA installer ISO (same version) and it installed without issue. I had confirmed the hash on the original installer.... so I had no reason to believe the install media was causing the issue. But in this case it seems it was the install iso and downloading a new copy and using that fixed my issue.

Please explain what 10.0.0.41, and 10.102.0.41 are.
What I wonder about is the "Changing HttpWriterFactory path to" IP address.
André
Are you using OVFTool or the vSphere Client to do the deployment?
mounting ISO and using CLI or UI installer.... OVF is embedded and used by the installation procedure.
Sorry tried to scrub IP and change it but missed the URL one ... everything is using 10.102.0.41 that is the ESXi host where the VCSA is being installed to.
Thread moved to the vSphere Upgrade & Install area.
Why was this moved to vsphere install upgrade ...??? This is in regards to deploying VCSA using VCSA install ISO..... Thank you in advance.
Moderators were asked to move these types of threads to this area by the VMware support teams - they are monitoring this area more closely to help customers.
Hi @fusionit,
Try deploying a Windows VM on that ESXi host.
Then attach the VCSA ISO and try installing it from there.
