    Error Installing Kali 2.0 using VMWorkstation 12: Something has happened...

    Hello everyone,

    I'm trying to use the Kali 2.0 Image found here using VMWare Workstation 12. https://www.offensive-security.com/k...mage-download/ Kali Linux 32 bit VM PAE


    Going through this process, it seems to start okay, and then I get the following:

    "Oh no, Something has gone wrong. A problem has occurred and the system cannot recover"

    I can press ctrl+alt+f1 which gives me a prompt to login. I can login using the default root user, but when i type startx, I get the following "-bash: startx: command not found"


    The following are articles or other posts that seem similar, but either no answer or an answer that doesn't help my situation.

    Other Information:
    I can run an older version of Kali (1.0.6) using VMWare Workstation 12.
    I can run Kali from a live USB on the same system.
    I verified there is enough hard drive space.

    I apologize if this post is a bit all over the place, I read the "How to make a valid thread" and tried to hit most of the requirements.

    Thank you.
