Downloaded the latest iso. Set up a new VM in VMplayer (linux host).
After launch install seems to be proceeding but then it finishes dropping to CLI prompt instead of desktop. Could be headless install but web interface not available either (used bridged mode and thus an IP on my local LAN). Best I can tell zentyal was never installed. I mean there is no sources set up so can't even try a reinstall from the prompt.
One issue may be that the VM player insists on doing an "easy install" which means the install is automated. Maybe it's missing some crucial user input??
Anyone (tried) have any tips on getting this setup on VMware Player? Otherwise I'm better off starting from one of my base ubuntu images and install zentyal from the CLI.
