Windows Server 2019 Error Loading Set-up

Post by Jon2264 »

I was trying to install Windows Server 2019 and kept having this image appear and am unable to get it working.

I have included the log file that was produced from the VM machine (I had to compress it to a .rar because it was too large to upload here) and I'm hoping to find out why. Everything is up to date and I was able to get Windows Server 2016 to work flawlessly on my computer.

Thank you for any help that you can provide.

Hyper-V is enabled. See HMR3Init: Attempting fall back to NEM (Hyper-V is active).

After that is fixed, the 2019 template may have a bug in it. Make a new VM, use the 2016 template for Server 2019, and make sure that the VM's System settings, Acceleration, Paravirtualization Interface* says 'Hyper-V'.

(* 'Paravirtualization Interface' is a comm channel for virtualization-aware OS's to talk to whatever hypervisor is running them, so they can run more efficiently. Setting this to Hyper-V does not turn on the host OS's Hyper-V.)
