OSX Mojave VM reboots itself after almost finishing download

Hey guys, I'm trying to get a Mojave VM working in Oracle VBox 6.x for a class and I was able to boot to the Mojave installer after creating the VM and changing some config files. When I choose "Reinstall macOS", I choose my 50Gb Mac OS Extended virtual disk, and it starts to download, but as it reaches about 90%, the VM reboots and starts me back at the beginning. Is there something wrong with the setup of the VM?

Do you have the latest VM also can you try another MAC iso as the one you have might be corrupt.

I made the ISO myself, would I have to try a different build of macOS, such as High Sierra?
