VCSA 7u3 Installation freezes at Stage 1

Deploying vCenter from my Windows 11 computer freezes at 10%.

Looking at the host, I can see the task Import vApp hanging at 10% as well.

I tried the UI and CLI installer. Both show the same issue.

Deploying the OVA manually also doesn't work. The task will not complete.

I tried the same from a Windows Server 2019 and 2022 and it worked without a problem.

The downloaded ISO was corrupt. Redownloading, and more importantly, checking the download afterwards solved this issue.

Interesting issue, same thing happened to me.

Interesting How a download can complete, ISO can be mounted and opened, and install can be started. It is "just" the deployment itself that seems to suffer from this.

Hello, I hope you are well, for everything you say about the VcSA I would advise you to look at the minimum installation requirements, confirm disk space and what format it is in and tell me I have seen the same error in the workstation when trying to install due to space problems
