Cannot install 12.3 to fresh Win11 VM - Error message is "Python37.zip" is in use or not enough disk space"

Recommended Posts

I've tried both Web and ISO installer.  Win 11 VM (fresh install) with over 200Gb free on C drive.  Windows defender turned off. Installers run as Admin.  Installing for Windows development only (no iOS, Mac, Android or Linux).  The installer gets about 50% of the way through and stops with this:

The file is present and is not locked.  Pressing Try Again immediately shows the same dialog. 

 

There was one attempt I made which I thought was working, but then stopped with the same message, but a different file: "LinuxPAServer23.0.tar.gz".

When I press Cancel, this is the message I see:

The retry option goes back to the start and eventually I get the same error message. 

 

Anyone got any ideas?  

Thanks.

SOLVED

My VM had an out of date Windows 11 installation (22H2), with no TPM module enabled.

I created a fresh VM and installed the latest Win 11 Pro and the installation has gone through.

If you need to upgrade Windows 11 on this "old" VM it's possible even if Microsoft says "this system is too old, Windows Update can't be used anymore". I found how to do it on Parallels forum and can explain how to do it there.
