Try the VM Kali Image. http://cdimage.kali.org/kali-images/...nome-vm.tar.gz

I'm experiencing exactly same problem as 'biki' and would really appreciate some solution. Thanks

Please, check the SHA1 of your kali download. Please, try to download kali from kali download page, it will give you the latest gnome version: http://www.kali.org/downloads/

Just select your flavor and architecture.

Luck.

Do you think it's just corrupted download?

Downloaded once again, sha1 check sum checked and it's right, however result during installing is the same. Tried to dual-boot alongside win7 but installing failed after around 30-40% without any particular reason. It just comes up as 'installation failed'.

Hey, I was also facing the similar problem a few days back. Then I followed this tutorial - http://techwikasta.com/2013/05/how-t...n-virtual-box/ - step by step and the os was successfully installed. You can also give it a try. :)
