    Grub installation fails each time with Vmware Workstation 12 and Kali 2.0

    Hello everybody!

    I´m currenlty running into an issue when trying to install Kali 2.0 x64 onto a VM in Workstation 12 Pro.

    I get "The grub-pc package failed to install into /target/" after "configuring the package manager" option during the install process.

    The weird thing is that I don´t even get the GUI option for "Install the GRUB boot loader to the master boo record" YES or NO.

    This worked flawlessly in another lab setup with same software and versions etc.

    I also tried the install without network connected - same problem.

    How can I resolve this ? Maybe I can install grub in command line after grub fails ?

    Maybe some hardware incompatible? Nvidia drivers have some problems.
