      <description>&lt;P&gt;Can you confirm that the downloaded installation image's checksum matches that shown on the download site, to ensure that the installation package is ok?&lt;/P&gt;

      <description>&lt;P&gt;I'm also running Windows 10 (Enterprise 22H2) and the installer works just fine for me.&lt;/P&gt;&lt;P&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/P&gt;&lt;P&gt;So just to confirm the basics, you're downloading the ISO, mounting the ISO (which is mounting to K:\), then you're running the following exe:&lt;/P&gt;&lt;P&gt;K:\vcsa-ui-installer\win32\installer.exe?&lt;/P&gt;&lt;P&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/P&gt;&lt;P&gt;Can you also confirm the filename you have downloaded? And are you downloading from official source?&lt;/P&gt;&lt;P&gt;If the issue persists, i would try either downloading a different build, or try deploying from a different workstation, just to rule these both out as well&amp;nbsp;&lt;img class="lia-deferred-image lia-image-emoji" src="https://communities.vmware.com/html/@84D0B125ABBDD13E116082CCCBA171CD/emoticons/1f44d.png" alt=":thumbs_up:" title=":thumbs_up:" /&gt;&lt;/P&gt;&lt;P&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/P&gt;&lt;P&gt;HTH&lt;/P&gt;&lt;P&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/P&gt;</description>

      <description>&lt;P&gt;The checksum is ok, so that should not be the issue.&lt;BR /&gt;Anyway, what you may try is to download/install a current version (e.g. 7.0 U3n) rather than the initial Update 3 version.&lt;/P&gt;

      <description>&lt;P&gt;Hi,&lt;/P&gt;
&lt;P&gt;Try installing from a virtual machine that belongs to the esxi host where you place the vCenter.&lt;/P&gt;
&lt;P&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/P&gt;

      <description>&lt;P&gt;Make sure your not mounting the ISO on a remote machine like your laptop and then trying deploy the image over your VPN connection to your ESXi host in your server room. Try mounting on a machine/VM that's close to the EXi host network.&lt;/P&gt;</description>
