Help a newbie out! Error when installing Kali Linux on VMware player

[gh0stman]

Hey everybody, i'm quite new to all this but i'm trying to get my Kali Linux operating on a VM.

I keep getting this error when i try to install Kali Linux x64 on my WMware Player. Does anyone know a fix or what's wrong?

Please see attached image

Try downloading the VMware Image Kali provides (https://www.offensive-security.com/k...mage-download/), then extract it. Select Open a Virtual Machine in VMware Player and browse to the extracted folder. Much easier than going through the whole install process.Schedule

I know this is a stupid question but what is the user/pass for the VM Kali Linux ? I downloaded the Hyper-V version ?

the user/pass is root/toor

the user/pass is root/toor

This is the error message I get when trying to install. Any idea??
