Thanks

Hi,

maybe you have corrupt binaries? Take a look if the checksums match.

Redownload the image and then verify.

The problem was due to the Windows 2008 system having been STIG'ed.  It caused the upgrade to fail.  I reinstalled Windows and was able to install vCetner5 successfully using the same media I had.
