Windows Server 2016 guest installation hangs

[DavidS13]

Using the trial of Parallels Desktop 14.

I obtained a Windows 2016 ISO and began the installation. Everything seemed to go smoothly at first but the installation inevitable reaches a point where it just sits there with an animated wait sign and never finishes. See attached screenshot. CPU usage and RAM usage are low. I've been waiting for hours and it never recovers. Any suggestions?

Best,

David
