It looks as if your VM doesn't have enough memory for X-Pack to complete the installation. This has been reported [here](https://discuss.elastic.co/t/problem-installing-x-pack-on-centos-7-virtual-box-vm/109165) and [here](https://discuss.elastic.co/t/install-reporting-failed/61238) and both times the issue was that the VM did not have enough available ram.

Please use a VM with adequate resources ( \> 2GB of RAM ).
