| Summary | 0006050: Kali Linux 64-Bit (Installer) 2020.1 | ||||
| Description | Trying to install Kali 2020.1 64-Bit installer on Vmware workstation 15.5 from last two days, tried more that 15 times but it gets stuck in "Select and Install Software" (showing 19 hours to complete) Please see attached screen shot | ||||

Same issue here.. |
 |
There's no error, you probably have bad connectivity with the mirror on which your are being redirected to. Try to use the full installer image (kali-linux-2020.1-installer-amd64.iso), it will have almost everything required on the ISO image and it will spend less time fetching stuff on the network. |
 |
See below video, I having same issue https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=X-TAlig953o and @rhertzog, as you suggested to run install using full installer image (kali-linux-2020.1-installer-amd64.iso) I have downloaded that image more than 5 times but no luck |
 |
We cannot fix this. You are selecting every possible package which means you need to download more than 6GB of files. Even with the everything installer iso, we do not have every package on there, and you will still need to hit the network. I would highly suggest doing an installation with the defaults, and then install the meta packages you actually want afterwards so you can see just how much you're trying to install. |
