Unable to Boot R82 ISO in VMWare

Secret-goblin-5 — Fri, 17 Apr 2026 09:23:52 GMT

File: Check_Point_R82_T779.iso

SHA1 is fine, so file downloaded correctly.

VMware config is correct. (file mounted in Content Library, CD is set to mount on boot etc.

Mounting in Windows show EUFI/boot/... so the ISO is booteable.

I used https://support.checkpoint.com/results/download/135012 to get the ISO, is this the correct file for VMWare?

Any help would be appreciated.

Hi @Secret-goblin-5
Have you disabled Secure Boot on the VM?

This is so obvious now you mention it.

It's booting now.
