I haven't installed debian 9/stretch in a few months but I don't think it has a graphical install, does it? I think it uses speakup, not orca. Anyway, I think you should do a screen cap and then run an ocr program on it. I am a virtualBox user but I am fairly certain VMware has a screen cap feature. I am not sure about OCR programs for Windows but in linux, there is tesseract. The text recognition is far from perfect but between the virtualBox screen cap feature and tesseract, I can usually figure out why my virtual machines won't boot. I think that technique would be worth a try for you. If you write a shell/batch script to do it, it becomes routine and it can bail you out of trouble quite often.

Hello,
I'm attempting to do an install of debian 9.3 x64 as a guest in workstation 14. The host OS is win10 v1709.
I've read compatibility issues and have confirmed I am not using accelerated 3d graphics in the vm, and am using the LSI virtual scsi adapter in the vm. I'm using orca software speech for the install. At different points during the install speech stops and I'm assuming the vm has frozen. This does not happen at the same point of the install. The vm has 16GB of ram and a quad core processor for hardware.
Suggestions welcome.
Thanks. Dave.
