Windows Server 2016 Node

I am running EVE-NG Community Edition in VMware Workstation 15 to get familiar with the product and I am trying to create a Windows Server 2016 node. I followed the How-To instructions here and everything goes great until I get to the point where I have to select the storage drivers located at B:\storage\2003R2\AMD64 (Step 10). It does not find any drivers and the installation of Server 2016 cannot continue.

I'm currently not on the laptop running EVE-NG so I cannot give precise version numbers but I made sure I ran apt update and apt upgrade prior to attempting this.

Am I doing something wrong?

first make sure your eve is version 2.0.3-95!
you can check version on eve cli:
dpkg -l eve-ng

Just tested Server 2016 install on EVE community, v2.0.3-59, works like charm.

So I am running 2.0.3-95 and the ISO I am using for 2016 is en_windows_server_2016_x64_dvd_9718492. Not really sure where things went sideways.

So I deleted everything and started over and now it is working just fine. Not sure what I did wrong.
