Trying to deploy the latest CE image (phoenix.x86_64-fnd_5.6.1_patch-aos_6.8.1_ga) on a VMware Workstation 25 machine, the VM is being deployed with the recommended hardware (8 cores, 32Gb, 3 drives (64, 200 and 500). The machine I’m deploying on is a minipc with i9 16 cores, 64Gb Ram and plenty of free NVMe space so its not a resource issue.
I see some other similar posts asking the same question but they looked to be using machines that didnt have sufficient ram to support the VM running with 32GB.
I’ve tried turning the compatibility down to workstation 17.x but that’s made no difference.
I’m getting the following error, I’ve looked through the log file but there doesnt appear to be anything obvious that is causing the issue.

Thanks in advance
John
