I've run Debian successfully over many years, on hardware directly and in a
KVM virtual machine. So I think you're right that the problem relates to
your VM, with which I've had no experience.
My only suggestion is to find out whether you can enable logging of the VM
system that might generate useful error messages on the host OS. If you
haven't already looked for errors in Windows Event Viewer, then it's time to
do that, as a first step.
You could always repartition the drive and just install directly to the
hardware.

Subject: [Blind-sysadmins] debian 9.3 as guest on vmware workstation 14,
win10 host
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.
