VM Essentials Install Manager 9.0.0 install error on deploy

Good evening,
I downloaded the ISO and successfully installed HVM on a Gen9 server. In my setup, I use a dedicated disk for the HVM OS and a 2TB RAID 5 array for the VMs.

Report:
When installing VM Essentials Manager from the Windows software contained in the version 9.0.0 ISO, an immediate error occurs during deployment because uploading files larger than 2GB is not permitted. The qcow2 image is the one inside the ISO, no changes have been made. This is definitely a security issue with Ubuntu 24.04, but we're off to a bad start.
WORKAROUND:
Install VM Essentials Manager as in previous versions, uploading the file via winscp, for example, to the TMP folder with the correct permissions, and then running the command from the Ubuntu console:
sudo hpe-vm

The installation proceeds smoothly, and if the network and IP settings are configured correctly, there are no problems; the VM Essentials Manager can be accessed.

This needs to be fixed in version 9.0.1 so I can install HMV from a Windows machine on the next cluster.

I have tried it. It worked, but could you tell me at what point and what kind of error occurred?
If you have tried this multiple times, I recommend deleting any folders named "morpheus" located in the user's AppData/Roaming directory and trying again.

@dya,

Please, I ask you for patience because I have to enlarge the 100GB LVM partition to destination, I don't have another 50GB free at the moment for the test

Hi, here I am!
I redid a complete fresh install on the node by downloading the new ISO and formatting the disk (I previously had build 11075) since I was unsure if it would work, but the result didn't change:

%SYSTEMPROFILE%\appdata\Roaming\Morpheus* also deleted before

I executed this from Windows 11 and it finished successfully. For your reference, here is my environment:

Please try leaving the checksum field empty for a moment.
