We've experienced pretty much the same thing here in our VM environment, with no explanations found.
We'll be connected to an ISO loading up a new VM and it will just stop. Start it again and it may be fine. Next time it might go through the first time or take 2-3 tries or it may not recognize the ISO and you have to mount up a disc locally. Spent some time researching it, but it takes so little time to roll out a VM we haven't really pushed to find a root cause, if there even is one.

OK - I did almost exactly the same procedure on a new VM today, and had exactly *no* issues. The "almost exactly" part was that I did the Windows updates only 5 at a time (as opposed to over 90!), and let the VM reboot as asked. So, I'm scratching my head over why the issues I had earlier. No freaking idea. Weird. I'm going to sulk now...
