Hetzner VMWare ESXi Install Over Lara Console Drive Redirection Error

Last Updated on April 4, 2017

I rented a rescue/root server from Hetzner and was attempting to install VMWare ESXi to it via LARA Console. After Waiting 45+ minutes for the .iso to transfer and load via Drive Redirection, the ESXi image booted successfully and the install process started.

Then, as my luck would have it, an error occurred with a crazy purple screen I had never seen before:

So what was the solution? Ask Hetzner to put a ESXi image on usb for you to use. 😀
