Good morning
I am hitting this now too, removing the floppy .img file from the floppy controller didn't fix the issue. Neither did removing the floppy controller.
As per other users, a manual creation (so create the VM while NOT running the 'unattended' line) works fine. I'm having the issue on Windows 2016, and a newly downloaded 2019 .iso file too.
ERROR (pop up dialogue): Windows cannot find the Microsoft Software License Terms. Make sure the installation sources are valid and restart the installation.
Any suggestions are most welcome - thanks
