Answer 2

Hello

This error often occurs due to issues with the virtual machine configuration or the installation media. Here are some steps you can follow to resolve it:

Create a New Virtual Machine:

When setting up the new virtual machine, select the option “I will install the operating system later” instead of using the installer disc image file directly.

Attach the ISO Image:

After creating the virtual machine, go to the virtual machine settings.

Navigate to CD/DVD (SATA) and select “Use ISO image file”. Browse and attach the Windows Server 2019 ISO file.

Check Virtual Machine Settings:

Ensure that the virtual machine has enough allocated memory.

Disable any unnecessary devices like floppy drives, which can sometimes cause issues.

Enable Secure Boot:

In the virtual machine settings, go to Options > Advanced and enable Secure Boot if it is not already enabled.

Restart the Installation:

Power on the virtual machine and proceed with the installation.
