Could you post output of following command:

Could you tell your virtual machine specs (Fedora version, RAM…)?

So you get error without any error message? Could you even take screenshot of this situation?

Or you can start anaconda installer from command line with following command:

/usr/bin/liveinst

Do you see any error messages then?
