Sometimes operating system images required for the Sandbox component would not install on VMware 6.7. In the /var/log/dmesg log, there will be entries similar to this:

Line 1631: Jun 20 12:51:12 SandBox-vitr kernel: [ 290.930401] qemu-img[18917]: segfault at 8 ip 00007f1fffa33ad5 sp 00007ffee9b08480 error 4 in ld-2.17.so[7f1fffa2b000+22000]
