Could that be because the image is not supported, corrupted, compatible or something else?

Many thanks in advance.

Thank you for the suggestion, although i had already installed the XRv through the link from you adviced, the image still wouldn't load. 

I am also getting the logs below:

Sep 27 15:17:25.315: Install Setup: Install Setup (pid 524321) has failed to prepare this node successfully and will now exit: (2755723798) 'Subsystem(2178)' detected the 'fatal' condition 'Code(1)': Invalid argument

I don't know if that's becasue the image is corrupted or not valid.

Many thanks 

David
