Hello,
I was trying to install vmware esxi on virtualbox, but I got an error message that I don't understand. Can anyone help me?
I have attached a screenshot.
Virtualbox 6.1.20
Thank you...

Re: VMware ESXi 6.7 Problem
Installing ESXi will be pointless. First it will require VT-x/AMD-v, and nested VM is only (somewhat) supported if VirtualBox is both nested and nester. And that only on some CPUs: which we can't talk about since you didn't provide a VM log.

Re: VMware ESXi 6.7 Problem
The VM seems to be correctly set up, so at least there is that. Except perhaps graphics RAM seems a little low, general RAM for the guest likewise (it has to have enough RAM to run another presumably 64bit VM inside itself).
Another thing I noticed is the name of the ISO: "VMware-VMvisor-Installer-6.7.0.update03-14320388.x86_64.iso". I noticed that it says "update03". Is this a stand alone installer or just an update?
Perhaps you'll need to ask VMWare what their error messages mean.

Re: VMware ESXi 6.7 Problem
ESXi is not supported to run in a virtual machine, except some specific VMware vSphere or VMware Worksation configurations.
It will not work in Virtualbox.
In some cases it was possible to start earlier versions of ESSXi, but never to start VMs inside it.

Okay. Thank you.
