  • Can you add the contents of your `build.ps1`-script? So others can see what you've done, and maybe learn from it... – Zeth Dec 29 '21 at 20:14

I can see that the .iso you're trying to download gives a 404:

https://download.microsoft.com/download/7/5/E/75EC4E54-5B02-42D6-8879-D8D3A25FBEF7/7601.17514.101119-1850_x64fre_server_eval_en-us-GRMSXEVAL_EN_DVD.iso

Try to change that link in your script, so it points to an existing .iso-file.

I too have been looking to build a fresh Metasploitable 3 VM recently. Unfortunately, the build process starts by first downloading an ISO of 7601.17514.101119-1850_x64fre_server_eval_en-us-GRMSXEVAL_EN_DVD.iso which is the Windows Server 2008 evaluation DVD image file, and Microsoft appears to have removed that from their downloadable files offerings. To proceed, you (and I) will have to find another source for this ISO, and so far I've had no luck with sourcing the file. Best of luck - hopefully things will go better for you than they have for me on seeking this file.
