Without knowing what isn't working, there is no way to know how to fix it.
What is the error? Not just the last line, the full output.

Creating a VM and the installation process of the operating system is not difficult, and a GUI provides useful understandable tips and comments. The key requirement is to configure a USB wireless network adapter connected to a VM by using a pass-through mode. This enables all hardware-based adapter?s features from an isolated VM with Kali Linux for packet analyzing. Installing Kali Linux on an ESXi VM is similar to installing Kali on a VMware Workstation VM. You can also use VMware vCenter Converter to convert a VM of the Workstation format to a VM of the ESXi format.
