I have tried to convert the .img to .iso to install on Hyper-V, but it is not recognized as a valid ISO (keeps telling me it’s corrupt). ---

Same here, ISO was not recognized. I flashed an USB drive with the usb image via Balena etcher, then injected the drive into the virtual machine and booted from BIOS. This worked ---

That’s not what I’m asking about. I’m specifically referring to the ability to not use a physical USB device to install. I’m trying to install without physical access to the server, but it seems there is an issue when converting the IMG to ISO (I tried several different methods). ---

Yeah that was my experience too. I have physical access to the server, but if you don’t you can try flashing an usb drive with the working usb image and then creating a disk image iso/img from the usb drive. I have never done it, just an idea. ---

I have direct access to the server but it is complicated and I need to install Umbrel on the VM directly via VCenter ---

Here to echo the desire for an ISO installation image. I also use Hyper-V to host Umbrel 0.5 and would like to try the later version. Hyper-V (on Windows 10/11) does not support USB device emulation. An ISO is required to install the VM os. ---

I just copied the .img file to a new virtual drive and made the VM boot from this virtual drive with the image. Try this and tell me if it works. ---

Thanks for the tip. I was able to get Umbrel installed on Hyper-V using the following steps; 1. Download/extract the Umbrel USB installer image (img) file. 2. Use PassMark OSFMount utility to mount the img file as a hard disk (entire image, not removable) 3. Use Windows Disk Management to mark the OSFMount drive as “offline” 4. Use Hyper-V console to create a new Umbrel VM. (Generation 2, Secure Boot off, Checkpoints Off.) 5. Use Hyper-V console to create a virtual SCSI drive pointed to the “physical” OSFMount drive. (if you don’t see the OSFMount drive show up as physical, restart the Hyper-V console) 6. Use Hyper-V console to adjust boot order of Umbrel VM. (new virtual SCSI drive first) 7. Boot and install per typical Umbrel instruction. 8. Remove the virtual SCSI drive at first reboot time.
